Social Action

Welcome Corps Refugee Program

Members of the Pelham Jewish Center are preparing to sponsor a refugee family soon to be arriving to the United States. We will be participating in a new federal program called Welcome Corps and will operate in partnership with Hearts and Homes for Refugees, a Pelham volunteer-driven nonprofit that has been helping refugees settle in Westchester since 2016. We will support a refugee family with all aspects of resettlement and adjustment during their first three months in the country.

Please keep an eye out for more information regarding ways to get involved; there will be many opportunities to help.
