New program introduces asylum seeker students to the Maine outdoors

MAINE PUBLIC • September 27, 2023

#WeOutside is the brainchild of Moon Machar, wellness coordinator at the Maine Association for New Americans. "We are taking groups of new Mainers out into the beautiful nature in Maine," she said, "to help them be able to experience and find home in spaces where, predominantly, people of color really aren't really utilizing, or don't feel welcomed."
