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. The initiative aims to highlight the impact of the private sponsorship program launched by the Department of State in January 2023.

The Roadshow includes a series of events organized by Welcome Corps partners nationwide to showcase how American communities are welcoming refugees. During her visit, Assistant Secretary Noyes will deliver keynote remarks at "Welcoming Communities in the Hoosier Heartland," an event co-hosted by the Community Sponsorship Hub, Patchwork Indy, and the International Marketplace Coalition. This event will emphasize how resettled refugees have enriched Indiana's communities and feature stories from refugees and Welcome Corps private sponsors.

Additionally, Assistant Secretary Noyes is scheduled to meet with local refugee resettlement partners, Afghan diaspora community representatives, and Welcome Corps private sponsors.
