New Women New Yorkers provides workforce development and other programs to empower immigrant women to obtain meaningful employment or pursue higher education in NYC, and offers a safe, inclusive space where immigrant women can build community and share their stories.
Our key goals:
- Empower young women immigrants to recognize and develop their potential, and pursue better educational and professional opportunities
- Through grassroots, transformative leadership, empower young women immigrants to become role-models and mentors for other young women immigrants, and agents of change in and for their communities
- Provide young women immigrants with a safe space and support network
- Provide young women immigrants with a platform to tell their stories and express their voice, so as to inform and raise public awareness, and promote a more positive discourse about immigrants in general, and women immigrants in particular
