What we do

Supporting individuals and families from settlement through to personal development and community engagement. See all programs.

Settlement Services

Programs focusing on feeling at home in a new country. Learn and practice English, navigate health care, education, immigration, housing and other systems.

Community Connections

NYCH’s Community Connections programs cover a broad range of topics and activities intersecting cultural, social, mental and physical well-being.

Community Development

Programs that encourage and support community members to engage 'where the rubber meets the road.' From self to systems, participants learn how to affect change.

Innovation

Like the community members we support, NYCH practices new ways of thinking, being, and doing. These programs surface current and evolving ideas and important conversations affecting our community.
