About

Immigrant Integration is a dynamic, two-way process in which immigrants and the receiving society work together to build secure, vibrant, and cohesive communities. (weareoneamerica.org) ImpactNV believes that immigrant integration should be an intentional process that engages and transforms all community stakeholders, enriching everyone's social, economic, and civic life over time.

As such, we have partnered with Caesar’s Foundation, Make the Road Nevada, congressional offices and service providers who work with immigrant populations to create the first of its kind one-stop resource guide developed collaboratively to welcome New Nevadans to our community. The "Together We Prosper" immigrant integration toolkit provides information on resources for food, shelter, education, healthcare, legal assistance, language access, advocacy, community engagement and more. This toolkit will live on the ImpactNV site (impact-nv.org) as well as be available in a hard copy format to clients through our partners.

Anyone who seeks information or resources in one area of need will have access to an entire toolkit of other helpful information and resources all in one place; expediting and facilitating community connection.
