Integrated Community

Background Statement

For 20 years, Integrated Community has provided essential support, stability, and connection for immigrant families in Northwest Colorado. Together with generous supporters like you, we’ve created a safe, welcoming place where all individuals can thrive. Thank you for helping make this possible.

CIIC and its programs were established after a series of community meetings held in the fall of 2004, in English and Spanish, to address our community's needs in response to changing demographics. These meetings gathered over 75 immigrants, government officials, health care providers, non-profit organization directors, and other community members to establish a prioritized list of community needs.

After eight years of providing service, Oct 2012 Integrated Community announced our separation from an umbrella organization becoming a stand-alone Non Profit Organization under the guidelines of the IRS as a 501C3 agency. We have spread our wings and increased our services in order to have our doors open full time for our clients, both those receiving services AND to those providing services. We are the only program in the Yampa Valley that provides assistance to limited/non-English speaking community members in the areas of medical, employment, housing, legal and other basic needs, decreasing the workload of other human service agencies in the area.

In 2024, your donation will help us:

Expand Legal and Immigration Assistance: Ensuring immigrant families feel secure, stay united, and access pathways to stability.

Provide Reliable Language Access: Increasing interpretation and translation support to help our community members navigate essential services.

Strengthen Family and Early Childhood Programs: Helping families and children thrive through education and social support.

Thank you for being part of our 20-year journey and for standing with our immigrant neighbors. Together, we’re building a safe, inclusive community where everyone belongs.
