Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants

For 108 years, the Connecticut Institute for Refugees & Immigrants has stood by families and individuals working to rebuild their lives in America through community leadership, compassionate and comprehensive services, and effective advocacy.

When families connect with CIRI, they are offered access to a broad range of services designed to support long-term stability and independence, such as legal services, workforce development, English language classes, cultural orientation, healthcare access, youth programs, and more. 

By fostering partnerships with individuals, schools, foundations, businesses, faith communities, and government agencies, we ensure that Connecticut is a place where newcomers may fully participate in our culturally diverse communities, where low-income families may have access to affordable immigration services and be reunited with family, where survivors of crime and persecution may have the resources needed to become self-supporting and healed and where ethnic diversity is valued as a cultural and economic strength by all. 

Your donation, whatever the amount, directly fuels this work. It helps us meet families with dignity, surround them with support, and give them the stability they need to rebuild.
