Rian Immigrant Center
The Rian Immigrant Center (formerly the Irish International Immigrant Center) assists families from 120 countries around the world as they immigrate and integrate into American society. Rian, which means “path” in Gaelic, offers pro-bono legal aid, education, English as a Second Language classes, citizenship classes, and wellness services to help immigrants forge a new path in the U.S. In addition, the Center advocates for fair immigration policy, against detention and deportation, and facilitates cross-cultural community building.
