Welcome to CSIO's new website! CSIO was founded in 1999 in response to an assessment of the barriers to organizing for social and economic justice in immigrant communities in the greater Boston area. This assessment, which took the form of interviews and focus groups with over 100 immigrant organizers, leaders and directors of immigrant organizations, pointed to a tremendous need for training, organizational support, peer networking and other capacity building supports in immigrant communities. CSIO’s programs emerged out of this dialogue. The mission of the Center to Support Immigrant Organizing (CSIO) is to support and help develop the work of individuals, groups, organizations and communities dedicated to organizing immigrants around the issues that affect their lives. The following are CSIO's current program activities:
CSIO is a small intermediary organization, currently led by a team of three staff and one consultant and five Advisory Board members. We use Third Sector New England (TSNE) as our fiscal sponsor.

We have begun the process of developing our own web page. This is naturally not a fast process, but with the help of experts in the web development area and the enthusiastic support of volunteers we will build a site that seeks to be a contribution in the field of immigrant organizing.
