What Re-imagining Migration, Inc. does

Re-imagining Migration, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 and based in East Boston, Massachusetts, that builds educational infrastructure for schools supporting immigrant-origin students. Its core product is a free, member-access Resource Library containing over 500 curated materials — lesson plans, study guides, webinars, teaching techniques, diagnostic tools, and literature study guides — organized around the proprietary Re-Imagining Migration Learning Arc framework and the "7 Levers for Building Belonging" methodology, both developed by co-founder and immigration scholar Carola Suárez-Orozco. The organization has reached 100,000+ educators across all 50 US states and 1,400+ cities since 2018, and is expanding its product surface with a Generative AI-powered Coaching App (in beta, built with PlayLab.ai), a Community Belonging Audit diagnostic, and a Newcomer Kit developed with Internationals Network.

The business model is a hybrid typical of mission-driven nonprofits: a free, freemium resource library drives top-of-funnel reach and community-building among individual educators, while revenue comes from (1) fee-based professional development workshops and training delivered to school districts and (2) foundation/philanthropic grants from funders including Unbound Philanthropy and Novo Foundation. Distribution is multi-channel: a self-serve website library for individual educators, direct professional development sales to districts, and partner platforms such as ShareMyLesson and Lee & Low Books for broader content syndication. Strategic partnerships with Harvard's Project Zero, the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, Southern Poverty Law Center/Learning for Justice, and Ancestry Classroom lend academic credibility and extend reach. Leadership is compact — Adam Strom (Executive Director), Carola Suárez-Orozco (Co-founder), and Meisha LB (Program Director) — reflecting a lean operating model supported by grant funding rather than venture capital.
