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.

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.
