CIIC's impact on the immigrant community, local businesses, and non-immigrant community members is indispensable. The more services we can provide, the less dependent our clients will be on emergency and crisis services, which ultimately results in a more unified, thriving community.
Integrated Community mission is to assist and support immigrants as they integrate, contribute, and maintain their independence in our Northwest Colorado community.
Our vision is a united Northwest Colorado community where all members have support and encouragement to communicate, participate, and contribute.
Integrated Community's goal is to strengthen our community through building respectful relationships between immigrant and local neighbors. We strive to create awareness of different cultures within our community and through our programs we break down the linguistic and systemic barriers that prevent our constituents from accessing services and resources in our community. We do this by providing education and support through Integrated Community's (CIIC) three programs.
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.
Partnering with Routt County United Way to form the 443 Oak NonProfit Center, we took possession of a permanent home for our 2 non profit organizations in thanks to anonymous donors. In the near future we hope to expand the building in order to make room for the work of other non profits in the area who need office/conference space to do their good work.
