Spring Institute for Intercultural Learning

Shout out to Angela Schreffler of Centennial Nonprofit Consulting for facilitating our recent Board of Directors annual mini-retreat! 💡🤝📈

This year, our board focused on developing an evaluation process to enhance performance, effectiveness, and team dynamics. We're grateful for Angela's expertise and guidance throughout the process and excited to continue strengthening our mission of building a thriving intercultural community.

Spring Institute & our Keep Families Together partners— Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition - CIRC, American Friends Service Committee Colorado, Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network - RMIAN, Casa de Paz Colorado, & Colorado People's Alliance —condemn the massive ICE funding bill signed by President Trump on Wednesday. 💔

Start your Friday out right tuning into insights from Colorado Refugee Speakers Bureau! 📻

Hope you can join us & RACC Refugee Action Coalition of Colorado allies on June 20th for the annual Colorado Refugee Speakers Bureau Showcase in honor of World Refugee Day!

This is unacceptable. Let Gov. Polis know you don’t agree with this betrayal of our intercultural community.

Cheers to our wonderful friends at .co!

Spring Institute is grateful to partner with WeeCycle to distribute baby gear to families in our service population. Today many staff had the added pleasure of visiting their warehouse!

We took a tour of the impressive facility & learned more about WeeCycle's two-fold mission: providing essential baby gear to families in need and keeping items out of the landfill. Then we pitched in to sort clothing, create "baby wardrobe bags", and repackage diapers.

Thanks for having us, WeeCycle, and for all you do to support families in our intercultural community!

Sending wishes for peace, happiness, & prosperity to our Muslim friends celebrating Eid al-Adha ✨
