Community Involvement
The CWS network engages community members eager to extend a warm welcome to newcomers. Community support allows community members to unite and offer personalized, sustained integration support to individuals or families seeking refuge here in the United States. Community members can provide meaningful connections to local resources, friendship, and guidance to newcomers through various volunteer opportunities as they integrate into their communities.
