About Us

Who We Are

NAIC, a non-profit organization, that has served immigrant communities in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, as well as Polk County in Minnesota and Grand Forks County in North Dakota, USA, since 2019.
Back in 2018, it began with a grassroots community realizing that by working together, we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch the Non-Profit organization New Americans Integration Center.

We especially support new immigrants community through various programs’ who seek to start their new lives here. 

Our Approach

Our mission is to advocate and promote self-sufficiency for immigrant individuals and families.
We achieve this by offering a range of services and support, including welcoming newcomers, providing food supplies, assisting with housing, facilitating educational programs such as ESL courses and professional training such as driving education, preparing individuals for employment, raising awareness about vaccines, promoting economic empowerment, delivering social and community services like translation and transportation, assisting with citizenship applications, supplying school materials for youth, and organizing cultural and sports events.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create inclusive and thriving communities where immigrant individuals and families are empowered to achieve their full potential and actively contribute to society.
We envision a future where immigrants are welcomed, supported, and provided with the necessary resources to become self-sufficient and successfully integrate into their new homes. By fostering a supportive environment and providing comprehensive services, we aim to build bridges of understanding and embrace the diversity that enriches our communities.
