Our Home

CANMP is based in Augusta, Maine (pop. 18,500). ​Long home to French Canadian immigrants and their descendants, in recent years Augusta has attracted a growing number of immigrants from the Middle East, South Asia, and other parts of the world. More than 100 foreign-born students are enrolled in Augusta schools, most of whom speak Arabic as their first language. 

​

In 2019, CANMP opened the Augusta Multicultural Center at 70 State Street. The Center hosts community classes, events, and programs that celebrate the diverse cultures of central Maine. A hub of learning, it gives people of all backgrounds an opportunity to expand their horizons.

 

In 2022, we renovated a former church into the Hallowell Multicultural Center, which hosts the International Kids Festival and other community events.
