ARAISA undertook a one-year research project to identify the needs of newcomer youth aged 15-30 in Atlantic Canada. We conducted 9 focus groups with 70 youth and interviewed 15 staff from 13 different service providers in all four Atlantic provinces. Compiled and summarized in this report, the research identifies if and how newcomer youth needs are being met with existing programming, with particular attention towards smaller and rural centres.
