Jessica Cirone

Director of Community Engagement

Jessica Cirone

Jessica is a connector and a mobilizer with deep knowledge and experience in refugee resettlement. Before joining the team, she was one of IINE’s community partners for many years in her role as Senior Director of Refugee Services at Jewish Vocational Service. Jessica began her work at IINE by designing and launching Resettle Together, a co-sponsorship program that involves community groups more deeply in the process of welcoming and supporting newly arrived refugees, both to increase capacity in response to growing need, and to strengthen support networks for new arrivals.
In addition to bringing people together to help refugees and immigrants succeed in their new communities, Jessica is passionate about finding ways to engage with her own community in Somerville, while raising curious and kind children, and making time for her friends.
Depending on the season, when she needs to get away, Jessica can be found skiing down a mountain, reading on a beach, or hanging out wherever the best live music is played.
