Integration Strategies
Responding to today's demographic changes, Spring Institute works to help create and strengthen efforts that promote the integration of newcomers into their communities. The adaptation process immigrants and refugees experience when relocating to a new country is ideally a two-way street in which both newcomers and longer-term residents learn and work together. Integration Strategies works to improve services, promote policy, facilitate communications and conduct research to promote integration throughout Colorado, the region, and across the country.
Core Services: Some of the services that Integration Strategies provides include:
- Convening and facilitating
- Technical assistance and training
- Program and policy development

Integration cannot be achieved without the work of many individuals, organizations and sectors. Integration Strategies works with national, state and local partnerships. In addition, partnerships are established with the public, private and nonprofit sectors. A core value of the Spring Institute is the inclusion of immigrants; therefore, immigrants themselves are incorporated into all aspects of its work.
