North Carolina African Services Coalition (NCASC) is an IRS recognized 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides services to refugees, asylees, and human trafficking victims who settle in Greensboro, NC.

Guilford County is home to the state’s largest and most diverse refugee population coming from a variety of countries and ethnic backgrounds including Somalia, Myanmar, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Cuba, Bhutan and Nepal, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Columbia, Ukraine, El Salvador, and Afghanistan, among others.

Originally founded in 1997 as a community support organization for Greensboro’s African community, NCASC has since become a full-fledged refugee resettlement agency from grants with the US State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugee and Migration and Office of Refugee Resettlement through the Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) and NC State Refugee Office.

As such, NCASC is one of several organizations responsible for resettling newly arrived refugee families from all over the world into the Greensboro area. This includes assisting families in acclimating to their new environment, and tapping into a well-developed network of resources to achieve self-sufficiency and success in the areas of employment, education, finances, health, and more.
