CENTREVILLE IMMIGRATION FORUM Information

The Centreville Immigration Forum's (CIF) mission 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. CIF's programming includes: • The Centreville Labor Resource Center (CLRC), its largest program, which provides a safe space where worker and employer can come to agree on terms for jobs. • English and Skills Training classes for professional development by focusing on building employability and self-sufficiency through investing in our member’s growth. • The Centreville Commission for Labor Justice (CCLJ) fights to end wage theft and provides aid to workers who did not receive fair compensation. • The Women’s Empowerment Project gives voice to women and family needs in the community to build partnerships to meet their needs. • Financial Empowerment programs which teach fair labor standards, financial literacy, and tax help for better integration. • Families Reunite a Fairfax County Certified parenting program for families that have been reunited after an extended time apart. • Organizing and partnering with advocacy organizations to give a voice to the community and break down barriers to employment and integration. • Accompaniment services for members in need to legal, medical, and other appointments to help navigate complex systems. • Member Mondays a day open for social service providers and volunteers to help members with forms and other necessary paperwork to better navigate their networks. All of our programs include workers in leadership and decision-making, which support the self-sufficiency of low-income immigrants.
