Building Bridges, Celebrating Cultures

You are an important part of our community. At the Multi-Cultural Center (MCC), we strive to create a safe and accepting community where people of all cultural backgrounds are seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether you are navigating new opportunities, looking for resources, or wanting to build meaningful connections, we're here to help. 

From interpreter services and workforce development to education and community events, the MCC works alongside our Center for New Americans to serve as a bridge for cultural communities—creating understanding and building a sense of belonging for everyone.

Community Engagement

The Coliseum

The Coliseum has been the home of the Multi-Cultural Center for many years. While our administrative offices have moved to the LSS Fishback Campus in downtown Sioux Falls, the Coliseum continues to host community-building, public, and educational events.

You can rent the Coliseum for $125 per hour, with additional fees for serving alcohol, renting equipment, or security.
