According to the Indianapolis Business Journal:
"The burgeoning number of immigrants arriving in Indianapolis have a new source available to help them navigate unfamiliar surroundings and the kaleidoscope of social support systems available.
"The Immigrant Welcome Center is a program launched in October that uses volunteers dubbed 'natural helpers' to link foreign newcomers to such basic needs as health care, government and transportation services.
"Although the effort is nearly 9 months old, it’s just now getting up to speed as organizers are interviewing candidates to lead the not-for-profit. An executive director should be named within six weeks.
"The center is under the auspices of the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee, a not-for-profit focused on community improvement, and is the culmination of Amy Minick Peterson’s vision to assist the growing multicultural sector."
