About Center for African Immigrants and Refugees Organization (CAIRO)

CAIRO has earned its reputation as a trusted and recognized champion of the African refugee and immigrant community and its most vulnerable members by providing the necessary support for stronger families and responsive communities. Through a dedicated and culturally competent team, a wide variety of programs, and a commitment to enhancing the lives of the children, youth and families we serve, CAIRO is a force for social change. It is the mission of the Center for African Immigrants and Refugees Organization (CAIRO) to advocate for and act to increase equity and social justice through programs, services, community organizing and collaborative leadership that create equitable opportunities for African refugees and immigrant children, youth and families to thrive. CAIRO’s expertise lies in it's ability to provide services that empower clients to positively transform their lives, which is cultivated by our work with at-risk children, youth and families. We use a two‐generation approach to guide all our services. The two-gen approach encourages our programs staff to serve children, youths and their near-adults together, to harness the family’s full potential and to put the entire family on a path to success. We envision a more just and equitable society in which children, youth, and families live in sustained, supportive communities, which reinforce the cultural wealth and lived experience of the family.
