Research has shown that the importance of having a physical space to meet is essential in growing a sense of community. That is why we want to celebrate the opening of the Mystic Activity Center for this week's Throwback Thursday series. We hope that this space has meant as much for growing your sense of community as it has for us!

As we approach The Welcome Project’s 40th anniversary in 2027, our staff has been digging through some old archives in the office. We have gone through many memories, and in each one we are reminded of the history of our organization, rooted in the history of Somerville's immigrant communities. We understand that the road to inclusion and equity is long but we're proud of Somerville for continuing to move forward. The Welcome Project’s goals have always been, and continue to be, to help build the collective power of our immigrant communities. We are grateful for the support from our students, staff, donors, and community partners in helping us achieve these goals. We hope you can enjoy some of our history through these photos, news clippings, and documents. Thank you!
