Welcoming Committee

Examples

A welcoming committee plays a vital role in Atlanta by fostering a sense of inclusion and belonging for newcomers, whether they are individuals, families, or businesses. This creates a supportive environment that strengthens community bonds and encourages active civic engagement.

​

To be a part of the involvement, individuals can volunteer with local organizations that assist new residents, such as refugee resettlement agencies or neighborhood associations, organize events like community meet-and-greets or orientation sessions for newcomers, and act as ambassadors by providing resources, guidance, and a friendly face to those settling into the city.
