  • SWEETIE CARE AFRICAN ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

Sweetie Care African Enrichment Program is a day program that provides holistic, culturally relevant social integration and case management support to African immigrants and refugees from across Massachusetts.

Located in Brockton, we work to empower women, youth, and elders as agents of change and self-determination.

Our Sweetie Care Program aims to meet the multi-faceted needs of immigrants and refugees, many of whom do not speak English and are unfamiliar with the available support and resources.

We provide a culturally relevant space for participants to socialize, learn, and receive critical social services. We intentionally do all of this from the context of the African tradition to maintain the cultural norms for this vulnerable population of immigrant and refugee elders.

Services offered as a part of CAMUT’s Sweetie Care African Enrichment Program include:

-Basic English literacy classes
