Communities Concerned for Immigrants and Refugees
is a network of healthcare providers, social service providers, and community members embracing, serving, and celebrating people migrating to and seeking asylum in the Greater Kansas City area.

We know that meeting the needs of immigrant and refugee communities in Kansas City requires dynamic collaborations across service settings and disciplines.

That’s why our efforts are guided by a multidisciplinary team of local leaders with lived experience who have been guiding immigrant and refugee programs in the Greater Kansas City community for years.
