The Six Impact Pillars
At The MEHRI Project, we believe that creating a world where newcomers thrive takes a community.
There are many ways to get involved and make a meaningful impact—whether you want to guide someone new, lend a listening ear, or amplify our mission.

Become a Buddy Mentor
Relocation can feel overwhelming, but with your support, newcomers can feel at home faster. As a Buddy Mentor, you’ll be paired with a newcomer (Newbie Mentee) in the same or neighboring city for one month.
Your role will include:
* Sharing local tips and guidance.
* Meeting virtually or in person to connect and offer support.
* Helping them navigate their new community, and pointing them to resources like grocery stores etc
Time Commitment: 1-2 hours per week for one month, with the option to extend if both participants agree.

Give Used Items
Finding stable accommodation is often one of the biggest challenges for newcomers. Through our Heart to Home program, we aim to ease this burden by providing gently used furniture and essential items to those in need. Your donations of clean, functional furniture help make a house feel like a home, creating a warm and welcoming space for families and individuals who are transitioning to a new life.
Be Our Ambassador
Not everyone has the time to volunteer directly, but you can still make a big impact by becoming a TMP Ambassador.
Here’s how:
* Share our mission on social media.
* Tell friends, family, and your community about TMP.
* Encourage others to join our programs or volunteer. Every share, post, and conversation helps us grow our reach and impact.
