Building Belonging and Opportunity for Immigrant Women and Communities

mmigrant women face compounded biases both as women and newcomers. Our model, which pairs American volunteers with newly arrived immigrants, provides the opportunity for mutual transformation. By sharing their stories, we will shift perceptions of newcomers' resilience, skills, and contribution to the community and economy. Through partnerships with American volunteers in workplaces and communities, we will expand immigrant women's social capital and economic opportunities, helping employers build inclusive cultures and improve economic outcomes for all.
