COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & Women Empowerment

Community Engagement and Women Empowerment work connects newcomers, especially women, with the knowledge, networks, and confidence they need to take part fully in their new communities. Each month, MIRA holds community education workshops where participants learn about their rights, available services, and support systems, along with legal clinics, educational and wellness sessions, and outreach and resource fairs that connect families with local partners. For women, these sessions offer a welcoming space to build skills, share experiences, and get support, including confidential safety planning for survivors of domestic violence.
