About Us
“United- together we thrive, achieve, grow and flourish as a community”
Welcome to our organization, where we believe that unity is the key to thriving, achieving, growing, and flourishing as a community. Our mission is simple but powerful: “United – together we thrive, achieve, grow, and flourish as a community.”
At the heart of our mission is the belief that real connections are the foundation of progress, both personally and professionally. We understand that in today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel disconnected from one another, even among our own diaspora community. That’s why we are dedicated to fostering and sustaining real connections that endure and empower.
Who are we? We are a vibrant and diverse group of individuals, united by our familial connection to Nigeria. Within our diaspora, you’ll find professionals excelling in their careers, homemakers creating nurturing environments, entrepreneurs with innovative visions, and so much more. Our strength lies in our diversity, and together, we are a formidable force for positive change. Northern California Nigerian (NCN) organization was formed in 2015 and held its inaugural potluck in 2016. Our quarterly potlucks are an informal gathering to socialize and network as a close-knit community.
“We contribute to the society and make it a better place”
Our membership comprises a diverse group of individuals with ties to Nigeria through birth, marriage, or ancestral heritage, and they reside in Northern California.
They share a sincere desire to establish meaningful connections, both on a personal and professional level. As an organization, our goal is to unite our community through a range of initiatives and events, creating connections that go beyond geographical boundaries and endure through the years. Our mission to enrich and positively impact the sense of community within our organization revolves around meeting the needs of the entire family unit. This includes catering to both adults and non-adults, including teenagers and younger individuals, through a diverse range of initiatives. These initiatives encompass organizing social events that blend networking opportunities, delivering educational and informational programs tailored for both adults and children, and coordinating field trips and group outings aimed at nurturing a more robust sense of community.
We invite you to join us on this journey of connection, growth, and achievement. Together, as a united community, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come. Welcome to our family, where unity paves the way for a prosperous future.
