Mission Statement
We help immigrants and their families become productive Americans and champion ethnic diversity as a cultural and economic strength.
Description
Immersion
We have had a hand in the resettlement and integration of nearly every new immigrant population in St. Louis for almost 95 years. We work with newcomers to provide initial housing, jobs and orientation and health support as needed. Later we provide citizenship and other community integration services - so vital during what is, for many immigrants, a lifelong adjustment process.
Investment
Awareness is growing that immigrants add economic value to our community and state as consumers, workers and entrepreneurs. When they start businesses as a disproportionately large number of them do, they create jobs and wealth for our entire community. Providing technical support and microloans to immigrants yields a high payback for everyone.
Inclusion
Newcomers and long-timers must appreciate and value one another to successfully live and work together. There must also be ways for them to communicate and learn from each other. We are the St. Louis region's authority on issues that involve connecting immigrants and the wider community. We offer fee-based multilingual communication solutions so companies can take greater advantage of the growing global business market; recruit and retain a multicultural workforce; and build a larger multicultural customer base. We also produce the annual Festival of Nations, which showcases multicultural performances, demonstrations, and food. Offered free to the general public, the festival draws more than 140,000 visitors together while raising money and awareness for people-in-need.
