We have a new name!
Riverside Immigrant Services & Empowerment
The name reflects our efforts over the last few years to broaden our services and develop into an immigrant integration center. In addition to immersive English language instruction, we now provide ESL-centered workforce development and digital literacy skills, an expanded set of social service supports, both directly and through referrals to our field partners, and community and civic engagement and training to empower and amplify the voices of our community.
This comprehensive set of programs strategically and effectively addresses the resettlement needs of new immigrants and refugees in New York City.
The logo is a visual representation of both the rising sun and our emblematic Lady Liberty, symbolizing our welcome to new immigrants and the promise of a future filled with opportunity.
