National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy
The National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy serves as a crossroads for policymakers, community and system leaders, and others looking to understand ways to support successful integration of immigrants and their children into U.S. classrooms, workplaces, and civic spaces.
It produces evidence-informed, nonpartisan policy research and data, and provides technical assistance and cross-state learning opportunities for state and local leaders. By engaging with stakeholders across the early childhood, education, workforce, health, and civic sectors, the Center builds a more coherent, knowledge-driven field. It shines a spotlight on integration issues often overlooked in national debates and promotes solutions that can lift the integration trajectories of immigrant families while also fueling the vibrancy of the communities and local economies where they live.
