Community Connections
Beyond classes and one-on-one support, In Her Presence creates spaces for immigrant women and families to connect with one another and with the broader community. Through circles, workshops, cultural events, and family gatherings, participants build relationships, share experiences, and find strength in community. These connections are about more than socializing. They foster belonging, mutual support, and leadership opportunities. By engaging with peers, mentors, and allies, participants expand their networks and deepen their sense of place in Maine.
