Who We Are

The mission of the CICW is to improve programs and policies related to immigrant children and families involved in the public child welfare system to achieve positive outcomes of safety, permanency and well-being. We envision a country where children of immigrants thrive in their families and communities. The CICW promotes and disseminates research, creates policy and practice recommendations, develops and disseminates resources, and provides leadership and guidance to child welfare agencies on policy and practice in working with immigrants.
