The Welcoming Center and WHYY | Exploring Trends: Immigration’s Regional Impact

The Welcoming Center and WHYY invite you to attend "Exploring Trends: Immigration’s Regional Impact,” which takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026 at WHYY, 150 N. 6th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19106 from 9-11 a.m.

This in-person event debuts the second edition of an expanded report examining how immigrants shape communities across Pennsylvania. Through new data on entrepreneurship, homeownership, taxes, workforce participation, education and civic life, the report offers the most comprehensive picture yet of immigrants and their impact on the region.

The program will feature a presentation of the report’s findings followed by moderated panel discussion with leaders from across Pennsylvania exploring a central question: What does it mean to be a resident? The conversation will examine how communities create the conditions for people to put down roots and strengthen the places they call home. 

This event is free to attend, and optional donations help WHYY continue offering meaningful community programs.
