PROGRAMS

QUALITY - COLLABORATION - ADVOCACY - INTEGRATION - RESPECT

QCAIR works with immigrants and refugees in three main areas.

  1. We provide direct services through our core programs, such as our Immigrant & Refugee Navigator Program, Citizenship Education Workshops, and the Emergency Fund.

  2. We educate the Quad Cities Area on what immigrants and refugees add to our community through cultural events such as our Annual Citizenship Honor Dinner.

  3. We refer immigrants and refugees to partners who already provide the services to meet immediate and long term needs.
