CWNY News & Updates

Winter 2023

Congressman Suozzi came to CWNY last year to ask us what projects needed funding. We shared that the Center for the Women of New York was ready to start the programs at our new home in Bayside and funding was needed to implement many of those programs. They include classes and services for women’s career advancement and empowerment and a think tank where women leaders would gather to find solutions to the challenges women face such as equal pay, the propagation of gender equality awareness, and education on women’s issues.

When received, the new grant money will substantially improve the Center’s ability to provide programs and services to New York City women and their families. It’s exciting to imagine the enhancements and additions to our programs and services that the grant will make possible. We are honored by the Congressman's support and grateful for his commitment to gender equality.

A big, big thank you to Congressman Suozzi!

We are grateful and proud of all CWNY accomplished in 2022. After two decades of efforts by many who have believed in the Center's mission, and multiple challenges along the way, we were able to have services offered at our Bayside home for the first time! We very much look forward to growing our beautiful and diverse community, continuing our programs and services, raising awareness on important women’s issues, and more in 2023. Be on the lookout for our new weekly emails where you will find information about our programs, services, and events.
