The Otto Bremer Foundation has funded Global Friends Coalition! This is a one-year grant that greatly enhances our ability to meet our mission of mentoring and tutoring New Americans and advocating on their behalf. 

The goal of the Civics Academy is to introduce New Americans to the community of Grand Forks, helping them become more familiar with city government, offices, and services. It will promote active civic engagement.

The Civics Academy will be held Thursdays from 6:00 to 9:00 pm on July 12, 19, 26, and August 2 at the County Office Building in downtown Grand Forks (151 South 4th Street).

There will be a special recognition during the last session for those who complete the Academy. To signup, call Global Friends Coalition at 701-746-8233 or email info@gfcoalition.org.

Note: To attend the Academy you must possess an I94 card and be able to speak and understand English fairly well.

Refugee families are arriving! We are in need of tutors and mentors. Sign up today!
