The Welcome Project's mission is to strengthen civic and community life in Somerville by diminishing racism and empowering the city's refugee and immigrant groups. We create opportunities for residents of all backgrounds to work together to improve their social, economic, and personal well-being.
We are based at the Mystic Public Housing Development, but we work with immigrants throughout the city. Our efforts combine services and civic engagement -- from our interpreter training program for bilingual youth (Liaison Interpreter Program of Somerville or LIPS) to English classes that teach vocabulary and ways to connect to the community to our Youth Digital Storytelling program.
