Where hope takes root & dreams blossom

Empowering New Americans to thrive in Fargo-Moorhead

Imagine arriving in a new country, a place with unfamiliar customs, a language you don't understand, and a future that feels uncertain. This is the reality for many New Americans who have sought refuge in Fargo-Moorhead, carrying with them the weight of past hardships and the hope for a brighter tomorrow.

At Community Connect Center (CCC), we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background. Founded in 2015 by South Sudanese refugees who understood the challenges firsthand, CCC is a beacon of hope and support for New Americans, particularly those from East Africa. We walk alongside individuals and families, providing the resources and guidance they need to navigate their new lives, build resilience, and achieve their dreams.

Formerly known as the South Sudanese Foundation, we have expanded our reach to serve all New Americans and low-income families, recognizing that the journey to belonging transcends cultural boundaries. We are a bridge connecting diverse communities, a hub where resources flow, and a catalyst for positive change.
