About This Cause
Founded by immigrants in 1989, the Rian Immigrant Center’s vision is of a shared society where all are welcomed and valued, and have access to equitable opportunities and protections. We have grown from a small group of volunteer attorneys into a multi-service organization with a diverse team of 38 employees composed of 10 staff attorneys, three paralegals, four social workers, three educators, four youth workers and more than 90 interns and volunteers. We are responsive, innovative and proactive in addressing the needs of more than 3,800 immigrants from 126 countries. Rian is guided by organizational values of empowerment, equity, hospitality, adaptability, hope, interdependence, learning, antiracism, and human rights. We are widely recognized as Boston’s Welcome Center for immigrant families. Together, our dedicated staff and volunteers create a safe, welcoming environment where our constituents trust us. We provide a range of critical services for the immigrant community, including immigration legal services, counseling, case management, and education and career advancement services. Our programs are integrated to provide holistic support to those we serve. For example, a constituent who meets with one of our immigration attorneys and who is also struggling with stress and anxiety can meet with one of our social workers, or attend our English classes if they have limited English proficiency. In addition to direct services, Rian works in partnership with public and private organizations toward change. We are well known in the immigrant community for this comprehensive, integrated approach, and for our proactive community outreach.
