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.

Thank You for Your Support

Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Nationalities Service Center joined together with other local agencies to prepare to provide services and housing for injured Haitians and their companions who might be coming to Philadelphia.  In order to prepare for their arrival, NSC reached out to the community and asked for support, not just in the form of donations, but for volunteers as well.  Thank you to everyone who answered our call and who, without hesitation, offered to give of their time and energy to help those in need.  We were recently informed that Philadelphia would not be receiving Haitians. We will contact all those who expressed interest in volunteering if the situation changes, but for now we would again thank all who responded for your overwhelming support.  It showed the spirit of Philadelphia at its best.
