ONA has a monumental vision of ensuring all New Americans have equitable access to opportunity and wellbeing. Additionally ONA’s mission is to facilitate the integration and inclusion of New Americans into Colorado’s civic, economic and social life. Currently Colorado’s New Americans, defined as immigrants, refugees and their children, constitute approximately 10% of Colorado’s population. While this percentage is significant, ONA has only received a few legislatively mandated programs to administer that are geared towards helping some of Colorado’s New Americans. These services are primarily state funded and are offered through ONA’s partners. In addition to ONA’s inaugural integration plan, ONA continues to tirelessly work on initiatives, partnerships and policies that will accomplish our mission.
