The Welcome Project builds the collective power of immigrants to participate in and shape community decisions. They do this through programs that strengthen the capacity of immigrant youth, adults and families to advocate for themselves and influence schools, government, and other institutions. They are based at the Mystic Public Housing Development, and they work with immigrants throughout the city.
