About Co-Sponsorship Volunteer

Co-sponsorship is a model of resettlement where a community group partners with a local resettlement agency to provide specific services and financial support to a newly arrived refugee family. This type of volunteer commitment is incredibly important to the work of welcome. Co-sponsors bring an essential level of commitment, continuity, and care for the refugees they serve and significantly multiply and extend the services refugees receive. Co-sponsors are overseen by our Co-Sponsorship Manager who provides each co-sponsor team with in-depth training prior to working with a family and continued support throughout their service period.
