The Achieve program offers a dedicated program navigator who provides personalized and intensive support to newcomers and their families during the settlement process.

This navigator works closely with individuals who face difficulties and barriers in accessing crucial services needed for successful integration into their community.

Through collaboration with other service providers and community resources, our program navigator ensures that tailored assistance is provided to meet the unique needs of newcomers and their families, enhancing their settlement capacity towards greater independence.

The Navigator program provides coordination for case management and periodically monitors progress with external service providers.

Cultural Awareness

Our program collaborates with service providers to enhance access to culturally sensitive services for immigrants. We also advocate for systemic issues that obstruct successful settlement. Our primary goal is to establish culturally safe and competent services for immigrant families through advocacy and partnerships.
