New Women New Yorkers

?? Gratitude, Community, and Giving Back ?? This Thanksgiving season, we’re reflecting on the incredible strength and generosity of the NWNY community. For nearly a decade, we’ve been inspired by women from all over the world who come together to support one another, overcome challenges, and thrive in their new home. Today, we’re thrilled to share Sara’s story—a graduate of our programs and a Community Support volunteer this past year. Sara arrived in NYC from Italy, searching for belonging and purpose. Through NWNY, she found a community that embraced her and empowered her to give back. ?? Watch the video to discover Sara’s inspiring journey. As we celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving, we invite you to join us in empowering more women like Sara. Together, we can create opportunities, build connections, and make a lasting impact. ??

New Women New Yorkers has proudly been a part since 2022 of the Queens and Staten Island Clean Energy Regional Hub, an initiative funded by NYSERDA. In our role in the Hub, we have been supporting immigrant women and Queens residents to join the ever-growing clean energy workforce, and to pursue clean energy upgrades in their homes. In collaboration with the Pratt Center for Community Development, in order to guide our work, we’ve developed a Regional Assessment and Barriers Analysis (RABA) to identify gaps and barriers in clean energy outreach, and where there are opportunities to improve. We’re happy to share this final assessment with you for transparency on our efforts: https://shorturl.at/gNVIy If you’re looking to learn more about how to join the clean energy workforce or you’re interested in getting assistance with clean energy or energy efficiency in your home, please fill out this form and our Hub Energy Advisor will contact you to set an appointment: https://lnkd.in/gpzdWcf7 #cleanenergy #needsassessment #queens #raba #nyserda

Tip Tuesday: Make Your Resume Shine! ? Your resume is the first impression employers get of you, so make it count! Here’s a quick tip to help you stand out: Use action verbs - Start each bullet point with a strong action verb like “coordinated,” “implemented,” or “led” to clearly show your skills and achievements. Focus on quantifiable accomplishments—for example: “Increased efficiency by 20% by optimizing daily workflow.” Show what you achieved, not just what you did! #TipTuesday #JobSearchTips #ResumeWriting #Empowerment #ImmigrantWomen #CareerSuccess #NYCWorkforce

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we proudly highlight the inspiring story of Hispanic and Latina Diana Cespedes, PM, a LEAD graduate who exemplifies resilience and determination. Diana's journey began in Costa Rica, where she built an 18-year career as a civil engineer, working on large-scale residential and hospitality projects. But her dream of taking on new challenges led her to New York City—a bold move that came with its own set of obstacles. In NYC, Diana faced a new job market and the challenge of rebuilding her confidence in a highly competitive environment. "It’s incredibly difficult to continue believing in yourself when everything around you has changed. You no longer feel like the same person you were before—the empowered woman you used to be seems distant. New fears and insecurities creep in, and the greatest challenge becomes overcoming that mindset," Diana reflected. Through the LEAD job readiness program with New Women New Yorkers, Diana found support, community, and regained her confidence. After months of hard work, she secured her first professional role in NYC as an Estimator at Hunter Roberts Construction Group! ????♀? Diana’s journey is an inspiring example of perseverance, courage, and determination to thrive, no matter the challenges. Today, we celebrate her success, not just as a professional, but as a trailblazer for immigrant women in engineering! ???? #SuccessStory #WomenInEngineering #Immigrantwomen #ImmigrantSuccess #NYCProfessionals #Resilience #NewHorizons #Empowerment #HispanicHeritageMonth
