You Belong Here
WIN strives to expand opportunities for immigrants who are current and future employees within Washington state government. Serve as a resource for all immigrants who are state employees to connect, share, and educate each other and Washington state agencies on the skills, expertise and cultural value of a diverse workforce.
The WIN Mentoring Program was established as a way to retain and support immigrant state employees in an inclusive environment that helps them thrive and advance their careers, as well as recruit new employees from the immigrant community at large.
Our mentors are ready to share their experience with their mentees, whether those mentees are current or prospective state employees.

Curious about the U.S. citizenship journey?

This is not a step-by-step how-to session, but a space to hear real stories, lessons learned, and diverse paths taken. Whether you're considering your own next steps or simply want to better understand what others face, this session offers insight, connection, and community perspective.
