CNNC: Building Bridges

Greensboro's immigrant community is a vital part of our city's identity and strength. From contributing to our economy and enriching our cultural tapestry to supporting local businesses and schools, immigrants are integral to our shared prosperity.

While shifts in federal funding have reduced capacity at many immigrant-serving organizations, the needs of the immigrant community remain high. In this challenging environment, organizations like the Center for New North Carolinians at UNCG play a crucial role in providing trusted support, accurate information, and a sense of belonging to those most at risk.

At the CNNC, we believe in building bridges—between cultures, communities, and opportunities. Every day, CNNC empowers immigrants and refugees across North Carolina by providing essential services such as language support, healthcare navigation, employment readiness, and youth mentoring.

With a unique model that trains community leaders from within immigrant populations, CNNC fosters inclusion and long-term success. Your support directly fuels these life-changing programs, helping newcomers not just survive, but thrive.
