TOGETHER WE RISE NYC
A youth-led effort to stand alongside immigrant communities in New York City
WHAT WE DO
We volunteer our time and raise funds to support organizations doing important immigration advocacy and relief work on the ground. Our goal is to strengthen community groups that are already having an impact. We volunteer with our partner organizations to better understand their missions and the most pressing needs they see and address. Through periodic fundraising initiatives, we also make small grants to support their work and contribute to efforts already making a meaningful difference.
Through our work with local organizations, we’ve learned how many families are navigating challenges related to housing, food access, healthcare, and the current immigration system. The following organizations provide critical support, from direct aid to community resources, that helps families stay safe and build stability.
