Serving Immigrants and Refugees since 1921

Nationalities Service Center (NSC) is a non-profit organization that provides social, educational and legal services to immigrants and refugees in the Greater Philadelphia area. Our strength lies in the diversity of our clients and services. Since NSC’s founding in 1921, our mission has been to help immigrants and refugees participate fully in American society. Each year, we help approximately 4,000 individuals from over 90 countries. We implement this mission by meeting five main objectives:

  • Protecting the legal rights of all immigrants
  • Empowering immigrants and refugees, including the most vulnerable, on the path toward social adjustment
  • Strengthening immigrant communities
  • Advocating for fair and humane policies toward immigrants and refugees
  • Promoting the value of diversity in the Philadelphia region
