Message from Board Chair and Executive Director
Dear Friends,
Every day through Building One Community’s work, a new neighbor learns English, a worker increases her vocational knowledge, a student receives enrichment support, a family gets legal immigration advice, and a parent gains tools to advocate for educational equity.
Together we have advanced the successful integration of nearly 14,000 immigrants and their families since 2011. B1C has expanded its footprint and now offers access to critical programs on both the east and west sides of Stamford, providing essential services that educate, employ, empower and engage.
2023 will be even bigger and brighter, especially with your valuable support! We are committed to reaching more immigrants and their families and creating a positive, scalable impact in our Fairfield County community.
We hope you will join our efforts to keep building a strong, diverse, and equitable society. A donation of any size makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity.
With gratitude,
Anka Badurina Ph.D.
Executive Director
