Nonprofit Organization
30 años al servicio de la comunidad inmigrante en Nueva York
History
In the last 29 years, LWA has helped thousands of women/men become aware of their responsibilities in learning their civic duties as they submerge themselves into this society. LWA offers services in immigration, education, domestic violence prevention, child abuse prevention, counseling and support, as well as referrals on other services such as mental health and aftermath counseling.
The organization has assisted approximately 25,000 women and their families with immigration services, including helping legal residents to become citizens of the USA and helped them to register to vote. It has assisted hundreds of schools by providing workshops on issues such as parenting, parental involvement, child abuse prevention, bullying, domestic violence, immigration and other types of abuse an individual may come across in their life. In LWA, we also advocate immigrant families as well as being aware of their rights in case an officer of the law attempts to deny their rights.
