Welcome Family Partnership
Embrace a recently arrived refugee family and walk alongside them for three months. Welcome Partnerships have not only made a significant difference in refugee families and their adjustment and assimilation to life in America, but they have also brought transformation to many Bible Study groups, Sunday School classes, and entire congregations too!
Attend a training, help agency set up apartment, greet the family at the airport when they first arrive in America, visit and build a relationship with your refugee family offering them your faithful friendship and loving support to help make their transition to American life smooth. (3 month commitment)
Welcome Baby Partnership
A group of women can embrace a refugee mom expecting her first American-born baby! There are many refugee mothers in Tucson who don’t have their sisters or mothers or aunts or grandmas here to help and support them in their pregnancy. They need help understanding the “system”, where to go for help, how to get needed supplies, but mostly they just need a friend.
Attend a training, go with a TRM representative to meet your refugee mama, make regular visits to their home, help them get to doctor appointments, show them where the diaper banks are, arrange a tour at the hospital where she will give birth, throw a baby shower, be a faithful friend and help this mother-to-be feel loved and cared for in the days leading up to the baby. (3 month commitment)
We will also assign you a TRM representative who will mentor you through the process and answer questions as you go and provide support in your new cross-cultural relationship.
