Everyone is welcome here. WHO WE ARE The Rocky Mountain Welcome Center (RMWC) is a non-profit organization led by immigrants and rooted in the community, dedicated to promoting intercultural learning, understanding, and integration among immigrants, refugees, and the Colorado receiving communities. At RMWC, we firmly believe that integration is a collaborative process involving immigrants, refugees, and receiving communities alike. We recognize immigrants and refugees as valuable assets to our community. Since 2017, RMWC has been welcoming new immigrants in Colorado. Inspired by the journey of our Founder and Executive Director, Diana Higuera, herself an immigrant, we understand firsthand the challenges and joys of adapting to a new community. Diana's personal experiences fuel RMWC’s commitment to supporting others through the intricate process of settling into Denver's diverse landscape. Central to our mission is empowering the metro Denver immigrant and refugee populations. Our services encompass a range of offerings, from educational programs to social gatherings and culturally sensitive services. We owe much of our success to the strong bonds forged with newly arrived communities, local leaders, and support organizations across our receiving communities. At RMWC, everyone is welcome here.
