Welcome to IDC...

The Immigrant Development Center (IDC) was established in 2003 as a means to proactively address the challenges and opportunities of growing cultural and ethnic diversity in the Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN metropolitan area.

The Immigrant Development Center is a grass-roots social change organization focused on economic justice, governed by a volunteer board of directors that represents the community we serve.

Our work supports and serves the immigrant population in the Fargo Moorhead area, concentrating on fostering entrepreneurship and enhancing opportunities for self employment.
