Mission

The Immigration Institute of the Bay Area (IIBA) helps immigrants, refugees, and their families join and contribute to the community. IIBA provides high-quality, affordable immigration legal services, education, and civic engagement opportunities.


Strategic Plan

This year, IIBA celebrates 100+ years of service to immigrant communities. Our longevity is testimony to our ability to listen, adapt, and respond to the changing needs of the individuals and families we serve.

As the challenges facing immigrants grow and evolve, we are doing the same. We are continuing our commitment to centering Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in our work. We have developed an internal work plan with actionable, measurable, and time-bound targets to ensure that we monitor our progress and hold ourselves accountable.

Sweeping raids, vast holding facilities that act as detention camps, mass deportations, and the repeal of citizenship and other immigration rights have become a frightening reality. Immigrant workers and families need trusted allies who can help them navigate convoluted immigration laws and a new home brimming with both opportunity and contempt. We the People should mean all of us.
