The first year evaluation report on the Immigrant Participation & Immigration
Reform (IPIR) initiative tells a story of human and social development newcomers
joining and strengthening the democracy-among immigrants
whose institutions engage them in organizational self-governance, leadership
opportunities, and democratic civic activity. Indeed, evidence suggests
that it is the quality of these organizations that draws immigrants into participation:

motivations to be active in the community was that “I like being a part of an
organization that does good work.”
