Community Centers
A vibrant community center can have a stabilizing effect on the lives of immigrant & refugee communities. Our centers are centralized hubs offering people resources and support.
BRINGING COMMUNITY TO YOU
Pop-Up Community Centers
IACS follows a model of community outreach that makes taking part in community activities accessible for members who live in various cities across the Pacific Northwest. Our pop-up centers are conveniently located in various community centers including Issaquah, Kent, Snoqualmie, Bothell, Redmond, North Bellevue and Northshore. These centers not only allow community members to better connect with each other but also opens up connection with other communities as well who may share the same space. Communites are transformed by the energy and passion of the people who visit these centers —staff, volunteers, parents, children and youth.
Programming
Each pop-up community center offers inter-generational programming for seniors, women, toddlers, youth and families.
Additionally, the IACS pop ups provide support for small businesses and civic engagement activities.

“I started bringing my little one to story time and preschool, but my mother-in-law and I both found different activities to enjoy. We enjoy the community lunch, and I come and practice English.”
