Make a world of a difference in the lives of refugees.  

Moving far away, learning a new language, and adjusting to a new culture are difficult things to do. Co-sponsors work as a team to help alleviate those struggles by assisting with rent and basic needs and providing friendship to refugees when they arrive to the U.S.

Change their lives—and yours.
Co-sponsor teams play a critical role in helping refugees thrive in their new home. Your friendship and financial support can ensure a warm welcome and a strong start to life in the U.S.​

Raise Support
Your team will raise $8,000-$10,000 to help with initial rent payments, bills, and household expenses as a family becomes independent.

Make a Home
Turn an apartment RefugeeOne secures into a home by stocking it with all the basics needed to make it a comfortable space.

Be a Friend
Check in with the family at least once a week for six months, helping them navigate the city, employment opportunities, and home life.
