Get Started
Friends of Welcoming is an interactive game around Welcoming America’s mission of making our nation a more welcoming place!
You can play as yourself, or with a team. You earn points for doing welcoming activities, which include things like signing a Welcoming Pledge or organizing an event to bringing immigrants and non-immigrants together, as well other activities like watching a Welcome to Shelbyville interactive video or sharing the site with your friends.
Each month, you can win prizes with your points, such as a prize pack full of goodies, and more. Beyond prizes, Friends of Welcoming will also be a place for you to connect with people all over the country who are working to make our country welcoming to all.
The following actions are a great way to begin. You can also access the full list of actions anytime!
