Integration is a crucial aspect of our community in Maine. As newcomers adapt to their new environment, the support within our Congolese community makes this transition smoother. We provide resources and guidance to help individuals navigate the complexities of settling in a new country, including assistance with language learning, cultural orientations, and community engagement activities. These initiatives foster a sense of belonging and security, allowing newcomers to thrive both socially and economically.

Within our community, there is a shared commitment to educational achievement, where mentorship and peer support play pivotal roles. We organize workshops and provide scholarships to help students pursue their academic aspirations. By cultivating a culture that values education, we prepare our youth to take on leadership roles and contribute positively to society.
