What is a co-sponsor?
Co-sponsors are an organized group of volunteers from the community who support one family through a formalized welcoming program that lasts approximately four to six months. They may be groups from a specific faith community, a mosque, a Rotary Club, a local business, or more.
What is the goal of a co-sponsorship?
To assist KRM in welcoming a refugee family and empowering them to rebuild their lives in a new home.
What do co-sponsors do?
Co-sponsors show their support for one new refugee family in various ways, such as:
- Serve as guides, advocates, and friends to a new refugee family
- Make a financial commitment of $2,500 for assistance to the family
- Gather household goods and furniture to prepare for a new family’s arrival
- Join KRM at the airport arrival to welcome the new family
- Visit the new family during their first three months in the U.S.
- Assist with transportation and caretaking when available
- Learn about and honor their cultural background and share your heritage in return
- Ensure that the family’s religious beliefs are honored without intention of conversion
- And more!
