International Center in New York, Inc., The
Purpose Of Funds
The International Center provides newcomers to the United States with a transformative community where they can improve their English-language skills and learn about American culture. Each year, 2,000 foreign-born individuals access these services that include practical training workshops, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes, civics education, and cultural and social programs. With a corps of 1,000 volunteers, the International Center's services target New York City’s three million foreign-born residents at its headquarters in Chelsea and through its citywide satellite initiatives, called Community Outreach Programs (formerly Collaborative Programs). The International Center is requesting funding to support the work that we do in District 3, both at our headquarters on 23rd Street and in our Community Outreach Programs. In addition, we recruit English-language learners from other organizations in District 3, such as the LGBT Center.
