United

we’re

stronger

We started small.

The United Congolese Societies of America, also known as Immigrant Communities Coalition (ICC), is a 501 C 3, non-profit that was founded by a group of The Immigrants community and leaders with diverse cultural, asylum seekers and refugees, tribal, and traditional backgrounds in April 2009 with the hope of helping members of the Immigrant communities to resettle, integrate and lead a self-fulfilling life in the USA, previously. Those leaders recognize the importance of addressing the basic human needs of newly arrived immigrants resettling in Colorado. The organization's new leaders saw the need to organize a community-based organization to help support the resettlement and integration process of Congolese people seeking refuge and safety in Colorado. Due to the diversity and complex origin of immigrant people and the increased number of immigrants throughout the USA, the UCSA has extended its services nationwide to asylum seekers, refugees, immigrants, and secondary migrants.
