Abstract

Literature reveals that immigrant-serving nonprofits enact an array of strategies that contribute to local policy and other immigrant inclusion outcomes. Yet this empirical relationship has not been systemically and holistically examined across contexts. Drawing on 30 qualitative interviews with immigrant-serving nonprofit practitioners operating throughout various U.S. cities, I specified over 100 strategies that organizations employ to contribute to immigrants’ rights, legal and cultural inclusion in society. To illustrate this relationship, I advanced a strategy typology highlighting the range and scale of strategies operating in the organizational field. Research, policy, and practice implications are discussed.

摘要

文献表明，为移民服务的非营利组织制定了一系列有助于当地政策和其他移民包容成果的战略。然而，这种经验关系尚未在不同背景下进行系统和整体的检验。通过对在美国各个城市运营的为移民服务的非营利从业者进行的 30 次定性访谈，我指定了组织为促进移民权利、法律和文化融入社会而采用的 100 多项策略。为了说明这种关系，我提出了一种战略类型学，强调了在组织领域运作的战略的范围和规模。讨论了研究、政策和实践的影响。
