Building Community in New Hampshire

Building Community in New Hampshire (BCNH) is an independent non-profit organization based in Manchester, New Hampshire. The organization, formerly known as the Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire, employs 71 people and generates $2.5 million in annual revenue. BCNH provides a wide range of services to refugee and immigrant populations in central New Hampshire. Their services include social services, employment assistance, senior citizen engagement programs, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, citizenship and naturalization support, health insurance enrollment guidance, nutrition education, youth engagement activities, and mental health support. A key feature of BCNH is its culturally and linguistically sensitive approach. The organization prides itself on having a staff composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds, many of whom were themselves refugees. This firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by the community allows BCNH to tailor its services to meet specific needs.
