BOMA AFRICAN CENTER

Introducing the Boma African Center

The Boma African Center is a community hub and empowerment initiative of Boma Prize for Africa Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to strengthening African, immigrant, and underserved communities across the United States and Africa.

We believe that thriving communities are built when people have access to the resources, support systems, and opportunities they need to succeed. Through a holistic approach, the Boma African Center connects individuals and families to services that promote stability, wellbeing, economic mobility, and community belonging

Our mission is to empower returning citizens, refugees, and underserved populations by providing culturally responsive support, workforce development opportunities, community resources, and pathways to self-sufficiency. We also serve individuals and families facing behavioral health challenges, including mental illness, addiction, trauma, and abuse, through community-based support, education, and resource navigation. We are committed to helping individuals not only navigate challenges but build sustainable futures for themselves and their families.

  1.  Workforce Development, Career Readiness, and Employment Support.
  2. Food Security, Community Outreach, and Basic Needs Assistance.
