Our founder Kathie O'Callaghan will be addressing the very important topic of community sponsorship and the role it plays in resettling, welcoming, assisting and advocating for refugees. Community sponsorship has been our focus at Hearts & Homes, and we are pleased that the Biden administration has acknowledged that volunteers and community organizing (Community Sponsors) play a critical role in expanding the U.S. refugee admissions program.

Kathie looks forward to joining the other esteemed panelists, especially our partner Kelly Agnew-Barajas from Catholic Charities of New York.
