ARAISA

With 32 (and counting!) Anglophone and Francophone member organizations across New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, ARAISA is a growing organization that strives to increase the sector's representation through our membership... ARAISA is an umbrella association which serves as a collective voice and forum for members who are committed to the settlement and integration of immigrants and refugees in the Atlantic region... As a regional settlement sector umbrella organization, ARAISA is uniquely positioned to provide guidance and support to member agencies and other settlement sector organizations in the region, with the integration and incorporation of EDI into their work. In doing so, ARAISA aims to champion the consideration and inclusion of diverse and intersectional social identities within the settlement sector in the Atlantic region and to challenge barriers to service and program delivery for newcomers.
