The New York Asian Women’s Center helps violence survivors overcome domestic violence and other forms of abuse by empowering them to govern their own lives. The Center provides a safe haven through multi-lingual support programs and shelter services. In addition, the Center works to raise public awareness about gender-based violence, advocates for the rights of survivors, and acts as an agent of social change.
NYAWC's STAR: Children and Youth Program will be implementing short-term music groups for the families at both of our residential facilities. We are seeking a volunteer with a music background and ideally some experience in working with children to support this effort by co-facilitating the groups with a STAR counselor.
