Refugee & Immigrant Voices in Action

Refugee and Immigrant Voices in Action (RIVA) is an immigrant centered organization that works to build the power of the people who are so often sidelined — the leaders, volunteers, and advocates working on the ground in refugee and immigrant communities. They know what their communities need, and how best to serve their neighbors in culturally responsive and effective ways. By partnering with refugee and immigrant leaders and ethnic community- based organizations (ECBOs) to elevate their voices and expand their capacity, RIVA creates a cascade of change that’s powered by our own communities.
