Settling into a new place comes with significant challenges, especially for newcomer girls.

We support our youth to develop confidence and a positive sense of identity. Our Newcomer Girls Group program aims to help prepare newcomer girls aged 10–18 to be active members of their communities by:

• Connecting with their peers (other newcomer youth).

• Engaging in different topic matters such as healthy relationships, nutrition, hygiene, and more.

• Building communication skills.

• Expressing themselves through arts and crafts.

• Receiving academic support.

• Engaging in a variety of fun and educational field trips.

• Receiving assistance with basic needs and supplies.

In spaces where they feel safe, nurtured, and mentored, our free program for newcomer girls runs 1:00 pm–4:00 pm every Friday afternoon at the LFS Youth Settlement Services office located at 920 2A Avenue North in Lethbridge.
