Join the celebration

Join us for an evening of celebration, community, and giving back as we come together for our much-anticipated Annual Fundraiser. This special event will include a delightful dinner, live entertainment, and the opportunity to support a cause that makes an everlasting impact. Throughout the night, you’ll hear inspiring stories, engage in meaningful conversations, and have the chance to participate in live and silent auctions with unique items and experiences. Every contribution made helps us continue our mission to build bridges of understanding and foster global engagement through international exchanges, refugee resettlement and language access. Dress your best, bring your generosity, and prepare for an unforgettable evening. You will leave knowing that you, too, can Bridge Cultures: One Step, One Voice at a time.

The Global Gala is a celebration of everything we stand for and accomplish.

The celebrations reflect NNIC’s collective impact in bridging cultures through our empowering programs which build a more connected and harmonious world.

International Exchange

Our exchange programs remain strong as we work closely with several departments at the �Ƽ��Ӱ�ԭ��, including the College of Business, the Reynolds School of Journalism, and the College of Liberal Arts. We are also celebrating 16 years of youth leadership programming in Algeria, having trained over 400 Algerian youth and 100 Americans in this vital U.S. government outreach initiative. We look forward to showcasing this at our upcoming gala!

Refugee Resettlement

Our resettlement team has supported over 450 refugees and asylees, marking the largest number of individuals and families we’ve helped toward self-sufficiency since our efforts began in 2016. Each success story reinforces our commitment to empowering these individuals and families. We continue to work diligently to provide the support and resources needed for a successful transition.

Language Bank

As part of our commitment to ensuring that language is never a barrier to equal access to justice, housing, employment, education, or other essential services, our Language Bank continues to provide critical services to legal, business, and social service partners throughout the community. Our interpreters and translators are not just language experts—they are cultural mediators. With services available in over 200 languages, we help bridge communication gaps and promote inclusion.
