The Brookline Immigrant Advancement Committee, a Committee of the Commission for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community Relations has recently completed a 30 page Welcome to Brookline Booklet available for all new arrivals to the Town, with critical information to assist in getting acclimated to life in Brookline.
.
Available in 9 languages, this info guide serves the dual purpose of both conveying important, practical information, while also serving to welcome new arrivals by proactively reaching out to them.
This pilot guide is intended primarily for immigrants new to this country, but will also be helpful for individuals who are in Brookline temporarily (such as international students), or those who are simply new to Brookline. The guide features information about Town resources and government, local schools, medical and psychological well-being, and many other local community-based resources.
The guide is available here, and hard copies are available at Town Hall, the Health Building, and all Library locations. Reference copies are available at the Senior Center and School Administration Offices. For more information, or to request a reference copy for your organization, you can contact the Immigrant Advancement Committee at ODEICR@brooklinema.gov.
