8th Annual Welcoming Week Continues Through Sunday In Princeton

PRINCETON, NJ – Princeton is currently celebrating the 8th Annual Welcoming Week with a series of events for all ages, and in multiple languages.

The events include art talks, music, crafts, and games and is being hosted by Princeton Human Services.

The weeklong celebration runs from Sept. 8-17 and promotes inclusiveness, unity, and diversity in the community.

“This event wouldn’t be possible without the help of many community partners and volunteers,” said Rhodalynn Jones, Director of Princeton Human Services. “This is a time for Princeton to come together and demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion, elevate the spirit of unity, and welcome those who choose to call Princeton home. It’s exciting to be able to join other communities around the country in this initiative.”

Back in 2015, Princeton joined Welcoming America, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to lead a movement of inclusive communities becoming more prosperous by ensuring everyone belongs.

This year’s Princeton Welcoming Week partners include Princeton Human Services, Princeton Human Services Commission, Princeton Public Library, Princeton University Art Museum, Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Princeton University, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Palmer Square Management, SR Mosaic, Princeton Senior Resource Center, and Princeton University Lewis Center for the Arts.
