IMMIGRANT AFFAIRS CALENDAR & NOTICES
Queens Borough President's Office


Did you know ...
Queens is the most multi-ethnic county in the United States, with long-time residents and newcomers living, working, studying, and worshiping in the same neighborhoods. More immigrants live in Queens than in any other borough of New York City.

Borough President Helen Marshall, her Immigration Task Force, and her Queens General Assembly would like you to know about upcoming events, programs, and services intended to promote immigrant integration as well as greater inter-group cooperation.
