The Littleton, Colorado

Immigrant Integration Initiative

• Helps newcomers with information
• Connects people with each other, and
• Encourages citizenship and community and civic involvement.

Our vision is to become a community in which all people who live, work, study or play feel that they belong and can contribute.

Our goals are:

• To connect immigrants and refugees with information,
• To educate newcomers and current residents about each others’ cultures, and
• To encourage immigrants and refugees to become citizens and to become involved in the life of the community.

We invite you on this journey to a more culturally diverse community.

“Some may see an increase in new people as a challenge. We choose to see it as an opportunity.”

 - Littleton City Manager Jim Woods, 2005

What We Do

We help newcomers with information – by providing a One-Stop Information coordinator, a Health and Wellness coordinator and a School/Parent liaison.

We connect people with each other – through our Citizenship Mentoring Program and the Immigrant Friends Program, which connects new and established residents for learning about other cultures.

We encourage citizenship and civic and community involvement – through English as a Second Language and work with organizations like Western Welcome Week.
