Charlotte, North Carolina
Kazakhstanis of the Carolinas, together
We are the Kazakhstani community of Charlotte and the Carolinas. People from Kazakhstan of every ethnic background are welcome, and so are friends of the country.
What we do
We get together for our holidays and help people who have just moved here. We are also starting weekend Kazakh classes for the children.
Nauryz and national holidays
We celebrate Nauryz in March and Independence Day in December. Everyone is welcome, and we plan them with families in mind.
Kazakh language and dombra
We are preparing weekend classes for children and adults, so that the language and the music do not get lost on this side of the ocean.
Help for newcomers
Some of us moved here only a few years ago and can answer your questions about driver's licenses, schools, renting, jobs and doctors.

Nauryz 2027 needs a hall, food and printing
If you would like your business thanked from the stage at Nauryz 2027 and its logo shown on the event page, become a sponsor. Sponsorship does not have to be money. A hall, food, printing or a sound system counts just as much.
Who we are
Carolinas Qazaq Community was registered in North Carolina in June 2025. There is no paid staff, so volunteers do everything. A few families from Kazakhstan living around Charlotte started it because there was no single place to meet, celebrate our holidays and help each other.

If Kazakhstan is home to you, whatever your ethnicity or language, this community is yours too.
