Initiatives such as EWI affect social change both visibly and directly, through training and mentorship to help individuals survive and prosper, and more invisibly and indirectly, by helping to stabilize communities, empower women, contribute to our economy, and reverse the negative images that are often held about immigrants. EWI is a story of positive energy, inspiration, and hope—not only for immigrants, but for all of us.” ~ Susan Pearce Co-author of “Immigration and Women: Understanding the American Experience”
