Mission Statement

Our mission is to ensure refugees and immigrants achieve their full potential now and for generations to come.

We’re creating a Nashville where everyone belongs, no matter how far you’ve come to get here. Every minute, 30 people worldwide are displaced from their homes due to war, unrest, or natural disaster. In a new place, with a new language and culture, and away from all they’ve ever known, they start again.

At NICE, we’re empowering a more peaceful, tolerant world-a world where everyone belongs. So even if some of us have come a long way to get here, every neighbor is welcomed with open arms and given every opportunity to live the life they dream of. NICE helps our newest neighbors begin a new life in Nashville-through help with education, language learning, health, employment and everything they need to feel part of the community. Because inclusion is a human right. And while we may not be able to change the whole world all at once, we can change it little by little, starting within our own community, one new neighbor at a time.

The Nashville International Center for Empowerment is made up of a diverse group of staff and volunteers who have come together with a mission to ensure refugees and immigrants achieve their full potential now and for generations to come. We have developed a deep understanding of the needs and long-term aspirations of refugees and immigrants because of our own professional and lived experiences. NICE is an Ethnic Community Based Organization (ECBO), composed of a board and staff who are primarily refugees and immigrants. Through a multidimensional social services approach, we aim to make Middle Tennessee a welcome home for New Americans.
