Casa Asafran
It was an honor to work with the Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) to create a platform that connects immigrants seeking citizenship with members of the community that have received citizenship. Creating a space for mentorship and support in this community is extremely important to the process of gaining citizenship.
Client
The Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) is a statewide, immigrant and refugee-led collaboration whose mission is to empower immigrants and refugees throughout Tennessee to develop a unified voice, defend their rights, and create an atmosphere in which they are recognized as positive contributors to the state.
Challenge Statement
How might we provide a platform to connect Nashville residents ready for citizenship with naturalized citizens in order to help immigrants overcome barriers and become Americans?
Solution
User research showed naturalized citizens valued trusted information and real, in-person guidance. A mobile app would connect people who are ready for citizenship with those who have already been through it. This could help TIRRC grow current client trust and engage a new audience/donor base of established professionals within the immigrant community.
