Our Programs
Opportunities for discovery for young people and their families.
Maine Community Integration empowers New Mainer girls and their families through a variety of social education and systems advocacy programs.
EcoAspiration
MCI’s EcoAspiration programs harness the healing power of our state’s natural beauty as a pathway to opportunities for strong choices, careers and self-esteem for New Mainer girls and others in the Lewiston-Auburn community.
Civic Engagement
MCI promotes leadership development through intergenerational advocacy, education, and relationship building, organizing youth and their families to build stronger and more just communities.
Outreach & Education
MCI supports youth and their families in making safer, healthier choices by teaching skills and offering resources around suicide and gun violence prevention, substance use, financial literacy, vaccination, lead poisoning and more.
Community Health Worker Program
Our CHWs build trusted relationships through home visits, offering guidance on maternal wellness, infant care, and early childhood development—all aligned with each family’s cultural values. We also provide transportation for essential appointments, removing barriers to healthcare and community resources. Through our trauma-informed, community-based approach, MCI’s CHW program empowers families, fostering resilience and well-being across generations.
