AGIR Montréal (Action LGBTQIA+ avec les ImmigrantEs et RéfugiéEs) is an autonomous non-profit organization, by and for the LGBTQIA+ migrant community living in Montreal.
Specifically, our work aims to provide LGBTQIA+ migrants and refugees in need of:
- Services to support their settlement into the community through:
- Individual Support Services to assess and refer their needs in the areas of housing, interpretation, social services, employment, education, or to whatever appropriate services if necessary;
- Group Support Services to help them overcome social exclusion and isolation through capacity building and community building
- Social Activities to help them overcome social exclusion and isolation through capacity building and community development initiatives;
- Receive donations and distribute basic necessities or amenities of life that most people take for granted (like food cards, clothing donation distributions, etc. according to our capacity)
- Education and Public Awareness work that strives to change systemic practices that exclude, harm or even result in differential treatment towards LGBTQ+ migrant and refugees
Support services are offered by appointment.
