Cultural and Linguistic Services
The Somali-American Community Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping refugees and immigrants thrive. We aim to provide culturally and linguistically relevant services to empower refugees and immigrants in our community. Many members of the community do not have access to the internet or basic resources for health, shelter, and safety. Your donation provides immediate relief for those supported by the Somali-American Community Center. With your generous contribution, we can extend our reach and support those who need it the most.
Donate today to support our cause for ethnic self-sufficiency and refugee empowerment.

We Help Immigrants
Get a fresh start in America
Immigration can have a positive impact on a community in various ways. It brings cultural diversity, contributing to a vibrant and enriched social fabric. Immigrants often bring unique perspectives, traditions, and skills that enhance the community's cultural and artistic landscape. Immigrants frequently fill labor market gaps, helping to meet workforce demands and promoting economic growth. They often start businesses, create jobs, and contribute to innovation and entrepreneurship. Immigration can revitalize declining neighborhoods by attracting new residents and businesses, leading to increased investment, improved infrastructure, and a sense of community revitalization.
Saving lives,
enriching Communities
Refugee resettlement is a crucial humanitarian effort that offers numerous benefits to both the refugees and the host communities. It provides a lifeline to individuals and families fleeing persecution, conflict, or violence, offering them safety, security, and a chance for a better future. Beyond meeting basic needs, resettlement programs facilitate access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities, empowering refugees to rebuild their lives and contribute to their new societies. Additionally, the cultural diversity brought by refugees enriches host communities, fostering social cohesion, cross-cultural understanding, and the exchange of ideas.

Driving Change:
After-School Program
The After-School Program began in 2009 to provide refugee youth with a quality educational enrichment opportunity. The program meets Monday–Thursday during the school calendar. The focus of the program is to provide assistance with homework, build math and reading skills, and help the students successfully integrate into the American school system.
​
This current year, we are serving youth from several ethnic backgrounds. We serve students from Somalia, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bhutan, and Nepal. Help us continue supporting the SACC After-School Program. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
