building community through knowledge

The Immigrant History Initiative is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 by two Asian American women passionate about bringing immigrant histories, like those from their own communities, into the mainstream. We understand the deep power that learning one's own history can have on identity development, mental health, civic engagement, and community advocacy. 

Immigrant History Initiative works with families, schools, and organizations to share this knowledge and design thoughtful, anti-racist programs and workshops for people from all walks of life. We also develop curricula, train educators, and create free educational resources. Currently, our work focuses on engaging with and empowering Asian American communities.
