What is Welcome COS?
Welcome COS is a faith based ministry in Colorado Springs that equips churches to serve refugees with dignity, compassion, and practical support. We connect volunteers, churches, and refugee families so that new arrivals experience real community, belonging, and the hope of Christ through the local church.

What Happens at a Volunteer Training?
Our volunteer trainings are an introduction to refugee ministry. In about an hour, participants learn:

Who refugees are and what their journey is like
The most meaningful ways volunteers can help (mentorship, hospitality, transportation, practical support)
Best practices for serving with cultural sensitivity, compassion, and healthy boundaries
How to walk alongside a refugee family in a way that reflects the welcome of Jesus

The trainings are accessible, relational, and designed for anyone curious about getting involved; no prior experience required.
