Come Home to Syracuse
Founded by Jeff Brown, New York State Assemblyman, after he returned to Central New York in 1997, the Come Home to Syracuse campaign is supported by the Metropolitan Development Association and other sponsors with interest in bringing the best and brightest native sons and daughters back to our area, plus others with an interest in living in Central New York.
The Mission of Come Home to Syracuse
The Come Home to Syracuse campaign is a coordinated effort by a network of volunteers from the Syracuse area committed to making Central New York a great place to live and work. Our volunteers are reaching out to other people who have left the community to tell them about the economic, cultural and social vibrancy of Syracuse.
How It Works
If you are a former area resident, or if you have interest in living in Central New York, we want to hear from you. If you'd like, we will help you take care of all the details needed to make your return. Begin by filling out our I Want to Come Home Form.
If you have a family member or friend who lives elsewhere and you would like to have them live and work in Central New York, we'll attempt to help you convince them that it's a good idea. Simply fill out the Invite Someone to Come Home Form.
Our organization thrives because we have a group of dedicated volunteers. If you think getting others to return to Syracuse or the surrounding areas would be something you'd like to help us with, then please fill out the Become a Volunteer Form.
Supporters help us manage our outreach, train our volunteers, and keep our invitation materials current. If you have a business or organization and would be interested in support opportunities, please contact us.
We hope to hear from you.
