Building a More Equitable Maine Together.
Building a More Equitable Maine Together.
WHO WE ARE
Caring for Our Neighbors, Old and New.
The Immigrant Resource Center of Maine (IRCM) is a community-rooted, culturally specific organization that has served Maine for more than 24 years. We work alongside:
New arrivals rebuilding their lives in a new place
Immigrant and refugee families who have called Maine home for years
Lifelong Mainers who want their communities to be safe, welcoming, and economically strong
We believe that when all of our neighbors have stable housing, economic opportunity, and a sense of belonging, the whole community benefits.
Short-Term & Long-Term Focus
