Welcoming Week elevates the growing movement of communities that fully embrace all community members and their contributions to the social fabric of our country, with a focus on:

• Celebrating the diversity of our community
• Bringing together newcomers and long-standing residents to build mutual understanding
• Standing in solidarity with all communities to ensure everyone feels valued and included
• Moving beyond divisiveness and fragmentation
