Nationalities Service Center is Recognized as a Zone of Peace

The Ukrainian Support Program is one of dozens of programs sponsored by NSC and its partners.

Zones of Peace recently welcomed Nationalities Service Center (NSC) as a new partner organization. Each year, thousands of refugees and immigrants come to Philadelphia. For over a century, NSC has provided comprehensive services and supports for immigrants and refugees to thrive in our communities and pursue a just future.

Immigrants and refugees are vulnerable to systemic and personal violence. NSC responds with caring practical solutions to guide them through the transition to new lives. 44% of those coming to Philadelphia as refugees are victims of torture. NSC responds to the violence of torture with compassion and resources for healing.

NSC offers legal protections and remedies, health and wellness, education,  employment services, and language access. With a staff of  over 120, they serve over 5,000 immigrants and refugees per year, working with many partner organizations. Despite the large numbers, each person coming to NSC is treated with attention to their unique circumstances and needs.
