Welcoming Week NWA

September 10, 2021

Welcoming Week NWA brings together NWA Leadership Pledge supporters and the broader community to build strong connections and affirm the importance of welcoming and inclusive places in achieving collective prosperity.

For Welcoming Week this year, EngageNWA is proud to declare that #BelongingBeginsWithUS. Each and every one of us has the power to make sure everyone feels seen, embraced, welcomed and included in our communities. There are many options for individuals, families, and work teams to get involved through in person events, virtual experiences and ongoing projects. If you and your team have an idea for a specific organization or action that you want to support, you can submit your own project. You can also share a small act of kindness and we offer some simple ways to get started. Be sure to share your completed projects and acts of kindness on social media! Use #BelongingBeginsWithUS and #WelcomingWeekNWA to tag your engagement.
