Immigrant Integration

The City of Grand Forks is taking a leadership role when it comes to immigrants integrating into our community. That is why the city has established the Grand Forks Immigrant Integration Initiative. The goal of Grand Forks Immigrant Integration (GFII) is to promote naturalization and civic engagement among immigrant populations in our communities. To assess and align community resources to best serve both the New American population and general community. To assist New Americans with becoming engaged citizens by being prepared to capitalize on opportunities for productive employment, meaningful education, strong family support and positive community and social interactions.
