WHO WE ARE
The Oromo Community of Colorado (OCC) is a non-profit 501c3 organization established in 2000 and registered with the Colorado Secretary of State and the IRS.

Our members mainly reside in Denver, Aurora, Glendale, Centennial, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lakewood, Arvada, Golden, Thornton, Northglenn, Westminster, Louisville, Longmont, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley and Fort Morgan. Most of our members fled their own homeland Oromia (the largest regional state in Ethiopia) due to political persecution, economic inequality and human rights abuses perpetrated against them.
OUR MISSION
Oromo Community of Colorado is created to foster an inclusive, engaged and informed community that embraces diversity rooted in Oromo values, to foster successful assimilation of Oromos and other refugees and asylees into the diversity of cultures in the United States. Oromo Community of Colorado seeks to provide socially, economically, linguistically, and culturally appropriate services to the Oromo and other East African refugees and asylees in order for them to become self-sufficient in Colorado.
OUR VISION
To fulfill the needs of the Oromo Community of Colorado.
