While it is a challenge to educate new immigrant and African refugee communities in their preferred languages, CANIAR ensures that all individuals from diverse cultures will receive language assistance services distinctly in their preferred language, verbally and in writing

Drugs and Alcohol Education: Our organization combines key elements essential in effective drugs and alcohol awareness programs. Educating adolescent girls and boys about the affect of substance abuse and co-occurring disorders remains one of our best methods to bring NIARY up in our community. As compared with adults, adolescents have higher rates of dual diagnosis and developmental differences. We will educate them about the danger of drugs use and how affiliating with those playing with drugs could confuse them and create life time embarrassment

Qualified/Cultural Parental Education: Our organization is aware that becoming a parent in a culturally diverse ennvironment, is full of challenges even in the best of situations. Those challenges are even bigger for teen refugee and new  immigrant parents. Over the years, some of our new immigrant and African refugee teens are becoming victims of Child Neglect and are losing their children to the state while others are going to court for Chile Abuse and some still are not comprehending reasons they are falling victims of our legal system.

This will be of assistance to young expecting and existing mothers to live happily with their healthy babies. This program will assist with preventing domestic violence/abuse and social workers coming from the state who may want to investigate suspected cases such as Child neglect and or abuse owing to behaviors that occur owing to lack of education in this area. Thus far many have lost their kids to the state while others are pending investigation.

Small Business: We partner with community-based organizations to provide culturally sensitive entrepreneur training programs for low-income African and new immigrants who do not have access to traditional sources of capital and want to learn the skills to successfully start and operate a business. We assist eligible businesses to address operational difficulties and develop plans to strengthen their businesses.
