Project Details
WelcomeNST engages communities to form Neighborhood Support Teams (NSTs) to welcome refugee families. We are seeking a volunteer to form an NST for a family that is desperately seeking refuge.
What is a Neighborhood Support Team (NST)?An NST is a group of Americans who come together to welcome one refugee family to the United States and walk with them from new arrival to self-sufficiency over a period of 6-12 months. Many NSTs come from all over the country in a shared effort to serve and lift and succor those who are suffering. Forming an NST includes:
- Engaging broad community support
- Organizing your team into committees
- Raising money for the family you welcome
- Finding housing in your neighborhood

Mission Statement
Harnessing the power of community to provide refuge to refugees.
Description
In August 2021, in response to the evacuation of 80,000 refugees from Afghanistan, Elizabeth Davis-Edwards, a long time advocate for refugees, quit her job as a marketing executive and formed WelcomeNST to engage communities to help resettle refugee families. More broadly, she dreamed of pioneering a community-powered model for refugee resettlement. In the months that followed, WelcomeNST engaged over 3000 American families from around the U.S. to form Neighborhood Support Teams (NSTs) to welcome 700 refugees to the U.S. Today, WelcomeNST enables everyday Americans to offer refuge to refugee families from Ukraine, Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and around the world, proving once again that, when crisis hits, Americans will step up and meet the moment.
