About Us
Mission Statement
The mission of the New American Development Center (NADC) is to effectively reduce the poverty rate among refugees, immigrants, and low-income members of the Somali and East African communities.
We are committed to achieving this goal through the implementation of authentic, culturally sensitive, and sustainable programs.


Our Vision
By providing targeted support and resources, we aim to empower individuals within these
communities to overcome economic challenges and build a more secure future.
The NADC is dedicated to fostering self-reliance and resilience by tailoring our programs to the unique cultural backgrounds and needs of our participants.
Our History
NADC was founded in 2008 to address the challenges facing the growing African immigrant population in the Twin Cities.
Throughout the years, we have developed life-changing programs for Somali/East African youth, families, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.
NADC is resident- or constituent-driven, so our programs and services are a direct response to the needs, concerns, and changing circumstances in the lives of the immigrant community in Minnesota.
