National League of Cities and the City of Boulder Partner to Promote
Successful Immigrant Integration.
In order to help promote citizenship and community integration among the city’s immigrant population, Boulder, Colo., is partnering with the National League of Cities on the Municipal Action for Immigrant Integration (MAII) project. While immigrants increase the workforce, bring greater diversity and a new, world awareness to the City of Boulder, the partnership will work to assist residents in experiencing a smooth transition to their new home.
Supported by the Knight Foundation, the MAII project is a resource for city officials and community-based organizations to address immigrant challenges in their community by promoting civic engagement and naturalization among immigrant communities. Boulder will participate in MAII’s NewCITYzen Naturalization Campaign and the New Americans Citizens’ Academy.
"The City of Boulder is an inclusive and diverse community that welcomes people of all ethnic heritages," said City Manager Jane Brautigam. "We're excited about the opportunity to work with all immigrants as they seek to become naturalized citizens. Our partnership with the Municipal Action for Immigrant Integration of the National League of Cities reaffirms this commitment."
MAII’s NewCITYzen Naturalization Campaign highlights the benefits of naturalization. MAII provides cities with a campaign toolkit, including outreach material and public service announcements, to help launch naturalization campaigns.
The New Americans Citizens’ Academy assists municipal officials and community leaders to educate immigrant residents about local government, helping residents to fully understand how local government functions and how they can play an important role in their city. Participants in the Academy will learn about local government finances, structure and city services.
