About Center for the Integration and Advancement of New Americans, Inc. (CIANA)

Location:

36-12 34th Avenue, 2nd Floor, ASTORIA, NY 11106, US

Mission Statement

The Center for the Integration and Advancement of New Americans, Inc. (CIANA), is a not-for-profit social services agency that serves new immigrants in New York City. We specialize in providing an array of culturally competent and language appropriate services that address the growing marginalization of new immigrants, with a focus on newcomers from the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.

Description

Our work aims to prevent the growing marginalization of new immigrants and refugees and facilitate their successful integration into American life, while continuing to maintain their cultural heritage. We have designed a holistic integration model that aims to guide new immigrants towards social and economic self-sufficiency. It seeks to identify newcomers soon after they arrive, introduce them to American systems, address cultural and language barriers, and offer them a path towards citizenship and advancement. Our approach helps families and youth incorporate the best of both worlds while still maintaining cultural ties and pride in their heritage. CIANA is intended to act as an agent of social change, and has been recognized locally and internationally for its reach into marginalized immigrant communities.
