How We Can Help Others

The New American Association of Massachusetts

The New American Center’s mission is to help immigrants and refugees living in the North Shore area acclimate themselves to the U.S. Besides offering classes for English literacy and citizenship, the NAC works with the community to provide support through affordable child care, career advice and counseling services.

More than just a school, the NAC is a community made up of retired teachers volunteering their experience, former refugees helping others gain a foothold on their journey to citizenship and local families who are in need of an economic lifeline.
