Our Vision
Building Community
Our logo shows a big tent, or perhaps a cozy home, supported by a diverse set of characters. New Hampshire can be that home for refugees from around the world as well as for those with deep roots in New England. Resettled here by the U.S. State Department, most refugees have spent years in refugee camps working together. Our partners, Ascentria Care Alliance and the International Institute of New England, meet arrivals at the airport and get them into an apartment and a first job. BCNH steps in after that, with case managers who speak the language and who can help the arrivals connect with their broader community.
Our VISION: New Hampshire Grows more welcoming and more dynamic with every newcomer.
Our mission statement describes how to make that happen
BCNH is a multi-ethnic Mutual Assistance Association that provides an array of services required by diverse refugee and immigrant communities that help newcomers to understand and navigate the systems that are part of everyday life.
BCNH helps refugees and other immigrants navigate their way to safe, healthy, prosperous, productive, and connected lives in New Hampshire.
