Serving Immigrants and Refugees since 1921

Nationalities Service Center (NSC) is a nonprofit organization that provides social, educational, senior, translation and interpretation, and legal services to immigrants and refugees in the Greater Philadelphia area. Each year, we help approximately 4,000 individuals from over 90 countries. Our mission is to help immigrants and refugees participate fully in American society. We implement this mission by meeting four main objectives:
  • Protecting legal rights
  • Strengthening families and promoting self-sufficiency
  • Eliminating barriers caused by language and cultural differences
  • Promoting public awareness of the benefits of diversity in American society
All immigrants and refugees are welcome to take part in NSC services - regardless of legal status, country of origin, number of years in the U.S. and English language abilities. All services are strictly confidential; nothing you tell anyone will be told to anyone else. NSC is not a U.S. government agency.
