Centro Internacional de Raleigh’s (CIR) was established in 2006 to form a bridge between the faith and international communities in North Carolina. Our desire is to organize and engage faith based groups and other civic organization in aiding, under-resourced international communities. The purpose is to help these groups build meaningful relationships that transform both the lives of those who volunteer and those in international communities in which they serve, lifting these communities out of poverty and creating safe healthy neighborhoods.
