Concentric invests in refugee and immigrant women as they make West Michigan home and transform our communities to be more responsive and welcoming. We are multiplying the existing refugee and immigrant leaders throughout West Michigan who are best able to close gaps between their language/cultural communities and local resources. This program is replicable in other communities through written and proven curriculum.

Cohort members receive individualized, language-based support in accessing local resources as they pursue goals they have set for belonging and flourishing. Both leaders and cohort members graduate the program with broader social networks, increased capacity to navigate their new community, and articulated next steps for pursuing their objectives and leveraging their unique skills.
