Building Community in New Hampshire (BCNH), formerly known as Bhutanese Community of New Hampshire, is a tax exempt 501 C (3) nonprofit organization established in 2009. The mission of BCNH is to be a multi-ethnic, Mutual Assistance Association that provides an array of services required by diverse refugee and immigrant communities to help newcomers understand and navigate the systems that are part of everyday life. BCNH is looking for a dynamic, hardworking and innovative Case Manager and Community Health Worker who is interested in making a difference in people’s lives through active participation in BCNH activities.
