I found Konbit Neg Lakay a leader in their field in working with Haitian Americans and other community members. This organizations trains and assists in job hunts, operates afterschool programs, teaches in the native language and English, helps people to become citizens and provides prevention programs. This site in in the midst of great poverty, but is a gem and shining star!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
youth served, adults trained as CNA's and people referred to housing, feed and other needs;
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
not know how to manage with so many people with so much need.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
learning the culture, eating new foods and embracing diversity
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
knowledgeable, passionate, kind and respectful
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
help more Haitians in Rockland County, NY and in their Rockland Haiti Relief Task Force
Ways to make it better...
Couldn't have been better
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
more resources are needed to serve those in such severe poverty.
