When you become a member of the IIC, you become part of a vibrant and active statewide agency committed to refugees, immigrants and the integration of newcomers.

A membership fee or contribution to the IIC will provide material aid and direct assistance to those who need it most. Individuals may join at just $25.00 per year! Individual members are encouraged to serve on our planning committees, organize and attend events, participate in educational programs, and steer the path to building a unified voice for the immigrant, and refugee populations of Connecticut and beyond.

In addition to receiving IIC's newsletter, platinum members also gain discounted admission to our annual gala and annual meeting. Organizational members receive skill-building trainings and discounts on translation services from IIC. All contributions are tax deductible. Join us. Contribute today!
