We were incredibly honored and thrilled to have been recognized with the 2023 Philadelphia Welcoming Awards this November 17th. A huge thank you to the Office of Immigrant Affairs and to the people who nominated us. This recognition truly belongs to our devoted team that works tirelessly behind the scenes and to the amazing community that supports us. Without their unwavering commitment and collaborative efforts, we wouldn’t have reached this milestone.
This award holds great significance, especially in 2023 when Philadelphia was officially designated as a Certified Welcoming City by Welcoming America, an initiative that recognizes the city’s dedication to creating policies and programs reflecting its values and commitment to immigrant inclusion. It represents our collaborative leadership, our commitment to giving back to the community, and our vision for shaping the future of our community.
Let’s Talk Philly’s goal is to build connections and create a space for everyone to join the conversation aiming to address the challenges faced by immigrants. We strive to work collaboratively toward a shared vision to fostering a more inclusive and robust community. Every person deserves recognition, support and respect. We invite you to join us in this mission. Together, let’s continue our collaboration to make Philadelphia an even more welcoming place for all. Together, let’s make everyone proud to be part of this city.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to our amazing core leadership team, to our facilitators, participants, partners, and our sponsor, The Welcoming Center, for their unwavering support, trust, and for making what seemed impossible possible.
