Welcome to the NEWcomer
Project Community Map!
The data used to create this map was gathered from January 2026-April
2026. This map shows the organizations and services around the North East Wisconsin Region
which support immigrants and refugees as they resettle in the area.
Each sector shows what is available and reflects the perspectives of
Newcomers as well as organizations.
A "Newcomer" is a person or family who has moved to the region or
the United States in the past 5-10 years and is learning and adjusting
to the main languages and cultures of our region.
