The Welcome Project (TWP)

As Somerville's leading immigrant organization, The Welcome Project builds the collective power of immigrants to participate in and shape community decisions through programming that strengthens the capacity of immigrant youth, adults, and families to advocate for themselves and influence schools, government, and other institutions that shape our lives. The Welcome Project offers English classes for adult English language learners, including a program for Somerville parents to learn English while navigating the public school system. TWP's Liaison Interpreter Program of Somerville (LIPS) trains bilingual high school students to become professional interpreters and connects them with community organizations, such as the Mystic Tenant Association, for paid interpretation opportunities.
