Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment (WISE) Inc.

WISE was founded by a group of multi-cultural, first generation immigrant women in 1995 as a vehicle for education, leadership, social and economic empowerment of Asian, African, and Latina women, girls and their families. WISE’s founding members witnessed and experienced the negative impact a lack of education and having English as a second language has on the empowerment of immigrant women and girls. The mission of the agency was built around empowering immigrant women and girls to succeed, by using education and the development of leadership skills to increase their economic self-sufficiency. The overall goal is to break the chain of poverty and provide the necessary support and education for immigrant women to seek leadership positions in the workforce.
