About Us

At the International Welcome Center, we bridge the gap between dreams and reality for the foreign-born residents of the greater Akron area, starting from day one. Acting as representatives of Christ, our mission is to come alongside refugees and immigrants, providing them with essential services, from language lessons to legal guidance. Together, we build a vibrant community where every individual feels welcomed, empowered, and truly at home. Our collective efforts weave a rich tapestry of diverse stories, all unified in pursuit of happiness and hope. We are steadfast in our vision of a world where every person, no matter their origin, has a chance to thrive and belong.
