John Bottei is a Community Sponsorship and Engagement Specialist at Catholic Charities of Boston. He earned a Bachelor's degree in International Studies from Boston College with a concentration in Ethics and Social Justice. In his current role in the Refugee and Immigrant Services division, he connects community organizations and communities of faith with families served by the agency in eastern Massachusetts. These community sponsorship groups partner with Catholic Charities to provide companionship and support for a family in the transition to their new community, giving members an opportunity to empower the family as they move towards self-sufficiency. John is committed to accompanying those who are most in need in his community, and he strives to do so through his work.
