TEAN AND ALLIES’ ROLE IN SUPPORTING NEWCOMERS

TEAN and many other organizations played a role in welcoming a community of immigrants to Brunswick in 2019, and continue to do so in 2025.  We are grateful for grants received over the years from Midcoast Hospital, The Sewell Foundation, Maine Women’s Giving Tree and others, which were used to fund peer support groups, art therapy, and other material needs.  

Looking ahead, TEAN will continue its efforts supporting all families and children with ties to the Brunswick Schools. Volunteers and community allies for our ongoing work at TEAN are always needed. In particular, many new immigrants and others are  in need of English tutors, and those efforts are being coordinated through Midcoast Literacy.
