Support Immigrant Women to Enter the Workforce
Since 2015, New Women New Yorkers (NWNY) has empowered hundreds of immigrant women in New York City to secure meaningful employment or pursue higher education through life-changing workforce development, community, and storytelling programs.
We’ve offered nearly 60 job readiness workshop series along with more than 80 practice, networking, and interview sessions with partner companies and employers, and 800+ individual career support sessions.
New Women New Yorkers also provides immigrant women with a safe and inclusive space to build community and share their stories.
In 2022 alone, our programs served over 200 new participants, along with more than 450 alumnae and an additional 1,000+ community members. Our team has grown to six staff, more than 30 NWNY volunteers, and over 200 corporate volunteers.
Through our workforce development and community programs, the immigrant women we serve build confidence and the skills necessary to pursue their professional goals, and they grow and foster strong professional relationships and networks.
Thereby, they can participate in the workforce in roles that match their interests, skills, and education and that fill critical needs in high growth industries.
With your support, we can strengthen our mission of empowering immigrant women to reach their fullest professional potential for themselves, their families, and their broader communities.
