As a volunteer mentor in the Communities Connect Project, I\u2019ve witnessed first-hand the power of connecting with other cultures. Participating in the project has given better insights into the lived experiences of migrants in Ireland and helped me connect with other like minds in a community where connection, empathy, and empowerment thrive. Together, we\u2019ve built bridges that will last well beyond the project itself.<\/p>Mentor Testimonial<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
