Connecting communities & empowering lives
Our Mission:
MSIIN is a network of community partners helping immigrants thrive in their new life in the US to benefit immigrants and their families, local employers, the community, and the economy.
Immigrant integration is…
the process of economic mobility and social inclusion for newcomers and their children. As such, integration touches upon the institutions and mechanisms that promote development and growth within society, including early childhood care; elementary, postsecondary, and adult education systems; workforce development; health care; provision of government services to communities with linguistic diversity; and more. Successful integration builds communities that are stronger economically and more inclusive socially and culturally.
