Our Mission

Rian empowers immigrants, refugees, and international exchange visitors on the path to opportunity, safety and a better future. We are working towards a society where all are welcomed and valued and enjoy equitable opportunities & protections.

How we work

As New England’s Welcome Center for immigrant and refugee families, we seek to be proactive, responsive and innovative in meeting the needs of immigrant families.

Alongside these programs we create community building opportunities and advocate for just and humane immigration policies.

Our vision is of a shared society where all people are welcomed, valued, and enjoy equitable opportunities and protections.

Rian is committed to anti-racism and building an organizational culture in which all guests, employees, and volunteers feel a sense of belonging, safety and feel valued.
