WHO IS “BUILDING ONE COMMUNITY - THE CENTER FOR IMMIGRANT OPPORTUNITY”

In 2011, we opened our doors to become the welcoming point of entry for newcomers from all parts of the world. On that day, immigrants who relied on a patchwork of services in a system that didn’t fully understand their needs - and those who went without any help at all - discovered a place that was created with them in mind. Since then, thousands of Stamford area immigrants and non-immigrants have come together to build one stronger community.

We were founded as an affiliate of Neighbors Link Network, a Westchester based organization focused on immigrant needs. After the expiration of our 5 year affiliate agreement, we rebranded as Building One Community (B1C), a name that captures the heart of our mission.
