Our Programs
WIN is a multicultural, social justice oriented inclusive program that is community led and informed. Our welcoming initiative will connect mainstream organizations, community members and recently arrived immigrants, to build the community’s capacity to provide more effective and welcoming support and to build on the knowledge and skills of our immigrant community.
Welcoming Initiative
Coming Soon
International Professional Network
The International Professional Network will provide immigrants that arrive with a degree or profession from their home country with a supportive community that will allow them to build their social capital and expand their learning and experience.
Our Impact
Immigration is very complex and it is one the most important and impacting event in
someone’s life; and can potentially be traumatic, even under the best circumstances.
Supporting the integration of our immigrant workers through organizing, education and collaboration we can contribute to economic development in our community through increased tax revenues, elevate consumer power (e.g. education, housing, purchasing), civic engagement, AND catapult families out of poverty.
This all improving the OVERALL HEALTH of our communities.
