New Brunswick is privileged to be the home of hundreds of newcomer youth, each bringing their unique talents, aspirations, and vibrant spirit. These qualities enrich New Brunswick today and hold the promise of an even brighter future.

NBMC’s commitment to newcomer youth is to create spaces and opportunities that enable them to evolve into confident and capable leaders. We firmly believe that investing in newcomer youth yields a sustained and positive impact on all communities.

​

Imagine NB is a bilingual and intensive intercultural leadership accelerator program designed to nurture the ideas, talents, and passions of newcomer youth. Over a year, Imagine NB participants engage in a dynamic blend of weekend retreats and virtual sessions. These sessions delve into diverse topics and explore prominent economic and social sectors within the province.

​

Throughout this journey, participants not only gain valuable leadership skills but also discover the wealth of opportunities that New Brunswick has to offer. They explore new regions and collaborate as a cohesive team. Moreover, the program pairs each participant with a mentor from their community, fostering longterm, mutually beneficial mentoring relationships.

​

Before graduating from the Imagine NB program, the youth undertake individual community projects, marking the inception of their leadership portfolios. These projects have already begun to make a tangible difference in our communities, with initiatives such as recycling programs and youth tutoring and mentorship programs emerging as successful outcomes.
