About
The Capital Area New Mainers Project welcomes refugees and works to build a thriving, integrated community in Central Maine.
Mission Statement
Based in Augusta, CANMP (pronounced "camp") embraces refugees as New Mainers who bring much-needed diversity, energy, and vitality to our area. With robust programs and a strong network of volunteers, we aim to:
Cultivate personal relationships:We give immigrants and local community members the opportunity to meet, share experiences, and build lasting relationships.
Meet immigrant needs:We connect immigrants to helpful people and resources in the capital area to meet immediate and long-term needs, and we provide opportunities for them to become contributing members of our community.
Educate the broader community:We advocate for immigrant needs and educate the broader community about diverse cultures and immigration issues.
