Immigrants don’t just live and work in New York. Immigrants are New York. 

New York has always been the first stop for many visitors to our shores. Whether these newcomers arrived at Ellis Island, JFK, or Port Authority, their ambitions have shaped New York into the cultural and economic landmark it is today. 

They cemented their legacies through ambition, determination, and the support of their new neighbors. While it is true that immigrants have always faced hardship and resistance, they have also been met by those willing to extend a hand. 

Today, the NYIC is here to provide that welcoming hand. Our Key to City events and Know Your Rights Trainings connect immigrant communities to the critical resources, information, and supports that they need to thrive. We are committed to this work and we are not going anywhere. We need your support to sustain these trainings and expand our reach within our communities. 

We envision a New York where, no matter where someone lands, they will have access to critical resources that they need to thrive. We need your support to make this vision a reality. Your gift today will connect immigrants in every corner of the state to essential resources such as immigration legal consultations, health resources, social services, and educational workshops.
