Centreville Immigration Forum Serves Registered Members

Centreville Immigration Forum serves primarily Centreville and many surrounding western Fairfax County, Loudoun and Prince William county residents. Although the majority of members are immigrants, our membership is open for anyone who can benefit from our services. Anyone with barriers to employment can take advantage of our temporary employment placement services, English or skills training classes, tax or financial planning services, wage theft education and recovery and community events and partnerships.

Centreville Immigration Forum (CIF) serves 97% immigrants, the remaining 3% are native born facing similar barriers to economic stability and can benefit from its programs. Immigrants represent 97% hispanic/latinx, with a majority of this group being indigenous of the Americas, who speak a Mayan dialect as their first language and generally learn Spanish as a second language; 30% have limited Spanish proficiency and literacy rates are similarly represented. This population often faces discrimination in their countries of origins and have unique perspectives and struggles that manifest in distinctive migration experiences. 

Membership predominantly represents the day laboring community, only 5% of members are fully-employed. Historically single men made up the day laboring population, however in CIF’s nearly 15 years of service families were established and gender equity was prioritized through our Women’s Empowerment Project; currently 26% of active members are women. 

Membership is $20/year, the membership is renewed annually where demographic, employment, and skills are updated.
