LSS Circle of Welcome featured on First Coast Connect
Updated: Nov 20, 2023
Lutheran Social Service's new Circle of Welcome refugee program recently took the
spotlight on WJCT's First Coast Connect hosted by Anne Schindler, on Thursday, November 16th, 2023.
Refugee Services Director, Laura Cook, spoke about the program's mission to provide essential support and guidance to refugee families resettling in Jacksonville, Florida.
Circle of Welcome is a co-sponsorship program that invites the community to get involved in Lutheran Social Services’ work of welcoming newcomers. Co-Sponsorship is a special relationship between a local resettlement agency, a community group, and a refugee family.
Co-Sponsors walk alongside and support a refugee family for six months in the U.S. and serve as community guides and friends.
