LSSNY Honored for Helping Communities in Need

LSSNY was recently honored by The Interchurch Center with the Community Service Award for our work in serving communities in need. The award was received by our CEO & President Damyn Kelly along with members of the leadership team.

"Know Your Rights" Forums

The Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, Bitta Mostofi, joined City agencies and community partners—including LSSNY—to announce $350,000 in funding from NYC and Robin Hood for “Know Your Rights” forums, which informs immigrant workers about their legal rights and access to services.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

Thanks to generous donations, hundreds of children and families received toys, bikes, clothes and more. Students at our New LIFE School in the Bronx selected donated gifts for their parents and siblings at the school’s holiday store. We are grateful for the generous donations received from The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, The Interchurch Center, Gilder Gagnon, Howe & Company LLC and our community partners.

Free Citizenship Classes

LSSNY is partnering with Women for Afghan Women to offer free ESL and citizenship exam preparation.

Classes are available regardless of gender, race, nationality, age, religion or sexual orientation.
