NSC is thrilled to celebrate Pride Month with our new Pride Community Group, which helps LGBTQ+ immigrants connect. This new support group is made up of immigrants from many different countries, from Somalia to Mexico. At our monthly meetings, we create community through shared meals, educational events, and art-based activities. In March, our wonderful, creative participants crafted sculptures to tell their stories and share their struggles and triumphs. At the end of May, we made T shirts that represent what pride means to us, then wore them on June 2 while we marched together in Philadelphia’s 52nd Pride Parade! One of our regular participants said that the group “lifted up [their] spirits” and is “a break from everyday life.” Another participant, who was completely new to NSC, said, “The welcome was warm, I hope to participate another time.” We at NSC are honored to witness the strength, beauty, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ immigrant community and welcome the opportunity to stand together. Happy Pride Month!

At Nationalities Service Center, immigrants and refugees receive comprehensive supports as newcomers in Philadelphia. In partnership with the Community Design Collaborative, a "town center" lobby was created so that food, education, and childcare could be accessed in one location. It's a lively space that I proudly get to visit each Wednesday, when I'm on-site at NSC. Learn more through this story from 6ABC! https://lnkd.in/e6K_6WCF
