Kicking off 2020: NWNY’s goals for the new year
Our January schedule offers a sneak peak of the events we are planning to continue making a difference in the lives of hundreds of immigrant women
2019 was a year of incredible growth for New Women New Yorkers (NWNY). By expanding the reach and scope of our programs, we’ve made a difference in the lives of hundreds of immigrant women. Over two-thirds of graduates of LEAD, NWNY’s main workforce development program, secure a meaningful job within six months of graduation. In 2020 we plan to further expand our workforce development programs for immigrant women. Do your new year’s resolutions include finding a purposeful job?A good way to start your search is enrolling in LEAD! This winter, the program will be offered at the Queens Jackson Heights Library and Brooklyn Central Library. Submit our online enrollment form here, and attend one of our LEAD Info Sessions:
