About Welcome Week

One week. Every city. Millions of doors opening across America.
Because the most powerful force for human connection isn't an app, an algorithm, or a government program. It's an invitation.

Built on the tradition of Blue Star Families' Welcome Week, the US Chamber of Connection is mobilizing communities, neighborhoods, and organizations nationwide to do one simple thing this September — open the door to a new friend.
