Campaign Releases Toolkit to Help Those Planning Welcoming Week Events

A campaign to celebrate the diversity and values of welcoming and inclusion for all - including immigrants - has released a toolkit that contains resources and guidance to support those planning Welcoming Week events.

About Welcoming Week

Initially known as National Welcoming Week when it began in the United States in 2012, the annual campaign by Welcoming Network was created to celebrate and uplift the diversity and values of welcoming and inclusion for all. 

Now, Welcoming Week is a global movement because of the network of organizations, local governments, and other institutions that comprise the Welcoming Network.

During Welcoming Week, communities around the world host events that connect people of different backgrounds through shared causes and interests.

Toolkit

The Welcoming Week toolkit contains resources and guidance to support Welcoming America members, Welcoming Week partners, and organizations and individuals who are planning and promoting Welcoming Week events.

The toolkit contains social media tips and assets, media relations support, logos and other visuals, event planning best practices, event examples, and information about this year’s campaign theme - Stories We Share.

The 2025 theme asks that if instead of seeing difference as a divider, we see it as a multiplier to shape new possibilities. By sharing stories, we build understanding, through which we can shape what comes next.

As September nears, the toolkit will be updated with new resources. Those with questions about the toolkit should email communications@welcomingamerica.org.
