An AIEM service rooted in East Montreal
Accueil aux immigrants de l’Est de Montréal (AIEM) is a community organization that supports immigrants in their settlement and integration.
With ICI-Youth, we support young people during a time when many things change quickly: school, social norms, new responsibilities, identity, and friendships.
