Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration Julieta Valls Noyes will travel to Indianapolis from June 25-26, 2024 as part of the Welcome Corps Roadshow to highlight the impact of the private sponsorship program the Department of State launched in January 2023. The Roadshow features a series of events organized by Welcome Corps partners across the country to showcase the role of American communities in welcoming refugees. During her visit, Assistant Secretary Noyes will give keynote remarks at "Welcoming Communities in the Hoosier Heartland," a Roadshow event co-hosted by the Community Sponsorship Hub, Patchwork Indy, and the International Marketplace Coalition. The event will spotlight how resettled refugees have enriched Indiana's communities and feature the stories of refugees alongside Welcome Corps private sponsors.
Assistant Secretary Noyes will also meet with local refugee resettlement partners, Afghan diaspora community representatives, and Welcome Corps private sponsors.
