New Women New Yorkers Information

The American Dream asserts hard work equals success. The truth is that this American Dream is unreachable for many immigrants, and for many immigrant women especially. Regardless of where they are from and their education level, women are more likely to be out of the workforce or underemployed. This is particularly the case for immigrant women who lack a US education: one in three are out of the workforce, and many more remain employed in low-wage or temporary positions making it difficult to provide for their family and climb the socioeconomic ladder. New Women New Yorkers has been serving immigrant women since 2015. We provide workforce development and other programs to empower immigrant women to secure their first paying, meaningful job in the NYC workforce or pursue higher education. We create a better, more equal, and more prosperous United States when we include immigrant women in the workforce. Our core values: Inclusion & diversity: New Women New Yorkers believes in the vast potential that every immigrant woman coming to New York has to contribute to our city, regardless of her national origin, cultural background, or educational level. Equality of opportunities: We endeavor to level the playing field so that gender, country of origin, ethnicity, family background, and other characteristics that are beyond an individual’s control do not impact a person’s outcomes. Freedom to choose professional path: We strive to offer our participants with the resources and support they need in order to pursue their chosen professional path.
