For Meditation and Reflection:
The mission of the Centreville Immigration Forum (CIF) is to implement sustainable programs that provide immigrants in need with the means to improve their lives and become more integrated into the community; improve communication and cooperation among groups serving immigrants; and build community recognition of our strength in diversity.
Our vision is a community that provides acceptance and opportunity for all immigrants.
All of our programs include workers in leadership and decision-making and support the self-sufficiency of low-income immigrants.
