my place in society and how that related to a better understanding and
meaning of multiculturalism" –Photographer, Portland Maine

CMA in Maine
"Racism in Maine can be related, but also it's very different across the world" -Outreach Worker, Maine Migrant Health Program
In Maine CMA is frequently asked to provide workshops that address issues of race, class, xenophobia, nepotism,international adoptions, international students, refugees resettlements, race, culture, bi-racial relationships, class, multiethnic family dynamics, sexual orientaion and the multicultural work place. Although not soley indicative to Maine, much of these dynamics are based on growing pains, assumptions and fear of the unknown.
