30+ new refugee families have been resettled to Northern Colorado in the last month. Through our services, they can begin ESL classes, search for jobs and adjust to life in a new place. Help us continue our impact by donating to #ColoradoGivesDay!

Today and always, IRCNoCo has a lot to be thankful for. We are incredibly grateful for our Greeley/Evans community, our wonderful partner organizations, and each individual who makes the work we do possible. IRCNoCo wishes you a warm season ahead. We are thankful for you!
#CGD2022 is soon & you can help with a donation. One student said, βIRC is a good place for me because I am getting an education. I have met friends from different countries. I studied citizenship at IRC and I became a citizen & thank you IRC for helping.β

Have you heard about the NEW OmniSalud program? For the first time ever in Colorado, undocumented immigrants and DACA recipients can purchase Colorado Option plans and access subsidized insurance plans! ππ

IRCNoCo is planning to host our winter clothing drive this season! If you have any gently-used boots, coats, hats, or gloves to give, we are accepting donations all semester long. Let's keep families warm this winter! βοΈ
We learned about free rides for folks 60+ and apps & transportation services from Ride NoCo & the GET Bus. We enjoyed our ride on the bus and feel more knowledgeable about transportation resources throughout our region! Thank you to @RideNoCo@GET_Transit and 60+ Ride! π
RideNoCO workshop partnered with @get_transit travel training and @60plusride providing transportation information for Greeley and Weld County at the @ircnoco @ Immigrant & Refugee Center of Northern Colorado https://t.co/KXMrkflTCq
We had so much fun at Weld Project Connect! Weld Project Connect is a one-day event providing free on-site services. We were able to answer questions, sign clients up for class registration, and provide speaking/listening assessments. Thank you to @UnitedWayWeld for having us!
Our executive director, Lisa Taylor, is saying goodbye after 10 years in her role here at IRCNoCo. Thank you, Lisa, for all of your dedication over the years! On behalf of IRCNoCo, we wish you the best of luck in your new position at The Weld Trust!
Happy Latin Heritage Month! From September 15th to October 15th, this month honors & celebrates the vast cultures and histories of Hispanics and Latinos. There are over 62 million Hispanic/Latin people living in the U.S., which accounts for approximately 19% of the population.
With @ircnoco, we heard stories of undocumented communities being forced underground into extralegal housing. Without legal documents, advocates found it nearly impossible to hold landlords accountable.
Your legal status shouldn't stand in the way of finding a home.
One of our students, Delia QuiΓ±ones, recently passed her citizenship interview at 61 years old! We are so incredibly proud of her hard work to reach this accomplishment. π Congratulations, Delia!!! π
