Dear Friends,
In 2019, we celebrated our 30th anniversary and renewed our commitment to
empowering immigrant and refugee families along the path to opportunity and
safety by providing legal, wellness, and education support, and by assisting
young Irish citizens through our learning exchange program.

It is with a commitment to inclusion,
justice, and hope for the next 30 years
that we changed our name to the
RIAN IMMIGRANT CENTER.
Rian (pronounced Ree-Ann), the Irish word for path, honors our Irish roots while
reflecting our inclusive mission of empowering immigrant and refugee families on
the path to opportunity, safety and a better future for all.
Our new logo is inspired by the Giant's Causeway on the north coast of Ireland.
The natural hexagonal stones formed 60 million years ago by cooling lava created
a pathway, and symbolizes the path to charting a way forward.
In recent years this path has grown more difficult. Bureaucratic walls,
thickets, and even physical barriers obstruct the path to legal status and
citizenship. We recognize the increased difficulty that immigrant families face,
and we are steadfast and undaunted in navigating these challenges.
Our work has never been in higher demand. Last year, more than 3,500 immigrants
and refugees from 126 countries walked through our doors, and worked
side-by-side with our attorneys, social workers, teachers, and volunteers to
make a path to a better future in America.
Over the past three years, our organization has doubled in size, assisting more
than 10,000 immigrant families and young Irish citizens. Our new Arbella
Foundation Immigrant Learning Center is a testament to our commitment to
providing comprehensive integrated support to immigrant families. Additionally,
we expanded our partnerships with schools, hospitals, and community-based
organizations, and last year, we launched a new civic engagement program for
those on the path to citizenship.
Rian’s work of creating pathways to new beginnings is made possible by you, and
by all of our dedicated staff and volunteers. We are deeply grateful to all of
our donors, foundations, corporate sponsors and partners. Together, we can
create pathways to new beginnings.
Onwards,
The Rian Immigrant Center Team
