DFW International Community Alliance is the portal to international North Texas, a region in which 44% of the residents are New Americans of first or second generation. We are a network of over 1,600 internationally-focused organizations in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex that embodies the cultural and economic vibrancy of the global community. Our Mission is to build mutual understanding and respect by linking diverse international cultural communities. Data from the US Census indicates that North Texas is truly an international region: over one million New Americans moved to the metroplex during the past ten years, and English is not the language spoken in 32% of DFW homes . Our vision is the recognition of DFW as an international metroplex which embodies the cultural and economic vibrancy of the global community. Our efforts have increased the awareness of the changing demographics of the North Texas region and influenced the participation of individuals from diverse backgrounds into mainstream society. DFW International Community Alliance focuses on education, cultural events, and communication. Our website's cultural calendar, resources and weekly e-mail publications connect all global communities in the region, providing visibility and direct contacts that build positive relationships while helping to facilitate a successful transition into the American society. Our three Reports on International North Texas offer a vision for unity and a network for incorporation of minority populations into the mainstream.
