Our Programmes

Our programmes are designed to strengthen connection, leadership, and wellbeing within communities with forced migrant experiences. They provide safe and inclusive spaces where people can come together, share knowledge, build confidence, and support one another as they settle and thrive in Aotearoa.

Through community-led initiatives for leaders, women, youth, and elders, ARCC supports participation at every stage of the settlement journey. Each programme encourages collaboration, skill-building, and meaningful engagement, helping individuals and communities play an active role in shaping their futures.
