Our Mission
Empowering individuals. Embracing cultures. Strengthening community.
We empower individuals by providing tools and resources to learn and achieve self sufficiency. We embrace the diverse cultures of newcomers and long-term community members in the changing landscape of Central Nebraska. We strengthen the community by fostering intentional change, creating meaningful relationships, and building a community that values diversity as its strongest asset.
People new to our community have unavoidable barriers in becoming successful Grand Islanders, like homelessness, unemployment, health issues, food insecurities, or immigration legal obstacles. It’s even more complicated when you have to navigate American culture and the English language.
Through individually catered services, we team up with clients to remove and overcome these barriers, with accommodations made for the client’s native language. These newcomers walk out of our door with housing, employment, insurance, citizenship, or resolved immigration legal problems, ultimately fulfilling dreams of building a better life in Grand Island.
Our Vision
Build a community that values diversity as its strongest asset.
Immigrants play an essential role as members of our community. When immigrants are acknowledged and valued as integral parts of our community, Central Nebraska becomes a more enriched place—both economically and as a nurturing environment for our families.
