What we do

Bringing Communities Together

We work to build bridges between cultures, strengthen families, and promote economic independence through education and support.

Settlement & Integration

We help newcomers navigate their new environment with services that include housing support, government documentation assistance, school registration, and referrals to essential community services.

Language Support

Effective communication is key to integration. We provide English language classes, conversation groups, and translation services in Somali and other languages to support both newcomers and service providers.

Employment & Career

We empower newcomers by helping them find employment and build sustainable careers. Our services include resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation. 

Youth & Family Programs

Our youth programs promote leadership, academic success, and cultural identity. We offer after-school activities, mentorship, tutoring, and youth leadership camps. Family support services include parenting workshops, mental health awareness, and conflict resolution programs.

Health & Wellness

Accessing healthcare can be challenging for newcomers. We provide guidance on navigating the Manitoba health care system, mental health support, wellness workshops, and physical fitness programs for all age groups. 

Women’s Empowerment

We provide safe spaces for Somali women to share experiences, develop skills, and gain independence. Our women-led initiatives include entrepreneurship training, domestic violence prevention, financial literacy, and peer support networks.
