Stories We Share: The Courage to Connect

Stories We Share: The Courage to Connect brings community members together for one-on-one conversations with immigrants and refugees. Visit a table, ask questions, hear personal stories, and discover shared experiences. These meaningful conversations help break down stereotypes, build understanding, and create connections across cultures in a welcoming and inclusive space.

Welcoming Week is an annual campaign that celebrates the work in communities to become welcoming places for all, including immigrants. Launched in 2012 by Welcoming America and its members, Welcoming Week provides individuals and organizations the opportunity to showcase their values through events and initiatives that foster connections and collaboration between immigrants and non-immigrants, as well as belonging for all.
