Description

The Center is situated in the heart of the community of the immigrants in need of its services. The Center stands in a perfect position to be the centerpiece between differing groups of people to help overcome the economic, cultural, and language barriers that exits. There is a sense of trust and safety attached to a "Faith-based Center" that makes it an ideal place for people to seek help for themselves.

Additionally, in an effort to help our students become familiar with the culture, we take them on field trips to social and historical places around Boston.
