Community Integration & Social Activities

Creating spaces for connection, culture, and belonging

BREA’s Community Integration & Social Activities program is designed to help
immigrant families connect with the broader community through meaningful, engaging,
and inclusive events. By bringing people together across cultures, we foster
understanding, strengthen social bonds, and build a sense of belonging for newcomers
and long-time residents alike.
