Everyone deserves a chance to thrive.

Since 2005, NICE has helped refugees and immigrants find housing, work, and belonging in Middle Tennessee — because no one should have to build a new life alone.

Around the world, nearly 120 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes due to war, persecution, or natural disaster.

When refugees and immigrants arrive in Tennessee, they are faced with numerous challenges: language barriers, unfamiliar systems, and a lack of resources.

NICE helps fill the gaps by providing English classes, youth programs, immigration support, healthcare navigation, and more.

We can't do this work alone — welcoming our new neighbors takes our whole community.
