Women's Intercultural Center Inc

The Women's Intercultural Center has been an incredible source of support for my family and me. They provided expert assistance with my immigration residency paperwork, lifting a huge weight off my shoulders. Additionally, they provided food for my family. I am deeply thankful for all of the support they provided. My Friends told me that this would be the best place to come to as not only are the trustworthy but they are experts on the process. Thank you.

The Women’s Intercultural center does an amazing job education students from different universities and schools about the immigration process and what it’s like for migrants to go through court proceedings and the struggle of integrating into their respective communities. I was in awe of having the opportunity to hear many women doing incredibly important work to support and empower the immigrant community. WINC is also an organization that provides programming and different classes for community members to learn new skills and provides a space for connection and reflection

I think this event was a very good event to promote cooperativeness and dedication from the administration of this intercultural center because make an event like this and for free is definitely not easy, and u appreciate that effort. I really enjoyed the nice and humble environment that this place gives, specially with all the people hanging out around, I would love to visit this place again.

PD: the food was delicious. Thanks!!

My experience with the Women's Center has always been pleasant. The people that run the program are always welcoming ,friendly and helpful. I started going to the center several years back and have noticed how the program has grown and become very organized and tailor to meet the participatnts needs.

During my stay at the Women's Intercultural Center, I gained invaluable insights and experiences that have had a profound impact on my personal and professional growth. Saif and Mary, in particular, were instrumental in shaping my understanding of immigration and its complexities. Their mentorship and guidance provided me with a comprehensive perspective on the issue, challenging my previous assumptions and broadening my knowledge.

One of the key takeaways from my time at the center was the realization that effective advocacy for immigration reform requires a holistic approach. Saif masterfully facilitated this by balancing discussions on various aspects of the issue with opportunities for relaxation and decompression. This approach ensured that we, as participants, were able to maintain our mental well-being while confronting the often challenging realities of immigration. He did this by often surprising us with stops for churros, seeing the sights the borderland to offer amd even taking time out of the night you would figure he would use to rest to play games with us.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this program and would like to express my sincere appreciation to all the volunteers at the center for their dedication and commitment to fostering a better understanding of immigration. The experience has undoubtedly made me a more well-rounded individual and better equipped to contribute to meaningful change in this field. I'm currently in medical school and this experience plays a large role in my journey. I'm grateful for the opportunity to visit and loved seeing the new group have so much fun.

I came to us citizenship! I like it alot they have the patience to explain every step it was a pleasure to join this class ! Thank to them I’m I U.S citizen now

Mrs. Mary Carter un millón de Gracias por su apoyo incondicional.Le agradecemos todas sus finas atenciones. Sus hijos un gran ejemplo a seguir . DIOS nuestro señor la siga Bendiciendo y en ABUNDANCIA prospera una muy pronta recuperación.

My apartment air-conditioning was broken and I had to wait up to three weeks for back ordered parts in 100+ weather. The center provided me a window unit to get through the wait. I am so grateful for all their help.

I wish there were more places like the center, and more people like they're incredible volunteers especially Mary, Seth, Alan, and Judi. They are incredibly giving and look out for the community. My family has needed food as I had recently lost my job and they provided not only chicken, but vegetables and a food box for me. Seth took the time to talk to me and see if there was anything I may need. He provided some cereal and pop tarts for my kids as well because we needed breakfast items and he had some baby formula and provided that as well. THank you for all you do.

The women's intercultural center has been a blessing this year for my family. This passed year has really tested me. And I'm truly blessed to have had the wonderful support of the center and the wonderful volunteers. Thank you so much. From food to clothes to even Easter decorating kits all year all they have been there to helps us. Thank you so much . We truly appreciate it.

Upon first entering this place I found their director to be a little self-righteous and stuck-up even though everyone had good things to say about her. I later found out that my perception of her would be wrong. I looked at her and other volunteers there in a different light because they treated me different than other places. Other places I had to work at to get my benefits would often cast me aside. I always felt unwanted, and the people at the center always paid attention to me, asked for my opinion, and actually gave me work to do. It drove me crazy, but it was exactly the experience I needed. I'm sharing my review because I'm currently finishing my bachelor's degree and while I have not kept in touch with the center, I want to share they helped me in a way I didn't think was possible. They saw me and my potential and I wouldn't be graduating this year if it wasn't for them. I hope to go back one day, but I want to tell everyone that walks through their doors, they aren't stuck-up or self-righteous, they are people that care and will take whatever time is needed to work with you if you're willing to work with them. I was SEEN by this wonderful organization.

Saif and Mary were so welcoming and informative! Our group learned so much about immigration during our stay and couldn’t have had a better experience. We heard directly about the complexities of immigration from a public defender, US district court judge, Border Servant Corps, the Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, border patrol and customs. The Women’s Intercultural Center is well known in the Anthony/El Paso area, and for good reason- the support they provide to the community is unmatched. Thanks to the Women’s Intercultural Center our group is able to take what we learned back to our communities to make meaningful change.

I am very grateful to all the wonderful people that run this place. They not only helped me get back on my feet but also helped other family members or friends. I found out about them because of one of my friends and when I shared with him the problems i was facing, he told me, why haven't you gone to the center?

Best question he ever asked me, because once I did, my life is much better now. THank you to all of you.

An asset to the community. Thankful for all of their classes and how they even offer their space to the community to use. I see them as the community center for Anthony and I hope our trustees learn from them before opening their recreational complex as a lot can be learned from the center. Thank you for helping our community.

I LOVE this place and everything they do for the community. I feel they are very underappreciated for the amount of services they provide for your community. From their classes to their immigration services, to their food distributions, toy distributions, heater and cooling fan distributions, the center has always stepped up for the community. I'm guilty of not supporting them especially as they have helped me a lot and I also never realized they are all volunteers. The reason they are open is because these volunteers show up every day. I couldn't believe it. I ask everyone in our community to help them continue their work, and if the center reads this, thank you to your wonderful volunteers for taking the time to do what you do.

Soy ciudadana gracias al Centro. Mi maestra Mary fue la mejor y me ayudó a practicar para la entrevista, aprender las preguntas, preparar mi solicitud e incluso se tomó el tiempo para organizar mi papeleo y traducir mi certificado de nacimiento antes de la entrevista. Gracias al mejor maestra.

I am an alumnus of the SCSJ and the Border Awareness Experience program offered at WInC and now currently attending medical school. The experience I had with WInC and at the border is one I reflect on often. I didn't think I would after I returned home, but there are many lessons I learned that week that I realized pushed me towards my dream of helping others and I constantly look at as guidance. While learning about immigration and life at the border and its effects nationally, what sets this experience apart from my other SCSJ trips is the people we met.

Saif and Mary, you all are forever in my heart. Spending time with both of you taught me a lot about giving but also about myself. You allowed me to be very open with you all and I appreciated all of your honesty. Between making our entire group feel comfortable and part of the family at WInC, all the jokes, sing alongs, special places Saif shared with us in his city, you created an experience unlike any other. I look forward to sharing the lessons you shared with me unto others and want you to know that I think about you all when I pursue my dream of healing others and hopefully to bring others to assist in the medical needs of the borderland in the near future.

Thank you, Saif and Mary, for not only educating me but for making me a member of the family.

I was referred to this organization so I can pick up some clothes for my children and myself. I had to make an appointment to reserve a time and date, which at first was weird, but I realized I had the place to myself. It was kind of nice not having to be around others and just freely look for what I needed. I left a very bad relationship and this along with the people there that helped me provided a lot of peace of mind. There's hope out there.

Siempre es importante para una persona que llega a vivir a un nuevo lugar encontrar apoyo, eso me sucedió llegando a Anthony NM, fui al WIC a pedir información sobre clases de inglés y me recibieron muy amable y me ofrecieron clases diferentes, ahí donde elegí lo que es mi pasión, el arte, la pintura y a través de los semestres he tenido aprendizaje, he mejorado mi técnica, he conocido .uchas personas y sobre todo siempre, siempre me reciben con una sonrisa al llegar, gracias por su trabajo, por su apoyo y por estar ahí para resolver dudas.

Loved volunteering here. It is an incredible space with amazing people. You just feel so at peace when you volunteer here. Thank you for the memories.

WIC provided a beautiful and accommodating space for a community workshop we hosted. This center was built and is sustained by love. Thank you!

This wonderful place provided me with clothes and food to get by when I was struggling without a job. They also recommended places where I could apply. One of those recommendations is where I am currently working today. Thank you to everyone at this wonderful center for the service you provide.

I had the opportunity to visit the Women's Intercultural Center this past Spring Break through a school program and I must say this unforgettable experience has widened my perspective on life. From hearing different stories and life lessons from Mary and Saif to the many activities and classes the WiC has to provide for its clients, this whole program does a lot for its community in hopes of success for those who are less fortunate. I'm forever grateful for the hospitality the WiC provided and I hope to visit you all again in the future!

I am a donor to this nonprofit and this is why:

The volunteers here give up a lot of their time to provide incredible services to our community, we are very blessed to have them.

I donate clothes and various items to their thrift store and love how it works and unlike other places they're not overcharging you. They even provide clothes and items for free to people that are in need and put out clothes and items for anyone to take outside.

I am a donor because they are very giving and need all of our support if we want to stay.

Vine al sentro comunitario aserme siudadana y me ayudaron vastante entre las clases y todo que implica y ya la pase las preguntas y ya voy a la seremia para la sudadania gs a que me ayudaron

It is great to have places like this one that colaborates with us the community health workers (promotoras). We are able to use the center to give classes to our community members. We are able to use the center to have help empower and educated others. Thank you Mary for making it easy to use the center when we need it. This center brings the community together and it's not only for adults but for our youth and kids as well.

Over the weekend my mother attended the St. Anthony fair. While waiting for me to pick her up she found shelter in the shade at the front of your building. Upon talking to her apparently a young man came outside even though you all were closed and offered her a chair so she could sit comfortably while she waited for me.

I just wanted to thank you all for your kindness. I looked you all up and saw I could leave a review so here I am. Thank you for caring for others.

I have come to know Mary Carter for the past 3 1/2 years. Women's Intercultural Center Inc. is always working for our community keeping us informed of issues that pertain to the center and important happenings, classes , graduations and special functions. Mary is always working hard for her center, encouraging the students to succeed and accomplish their goals. Please help the center with your donation.

The staff is very nice, make you feel welcome. Staff was very helpful

This place is so kind and giving. I have heard about the center many times throughout the years and how they help people. Many of my family and friends have either come for classes or to get help from their amazing volunteers.

Recently, I lost my job and have been visiting the center for their food pantry and when they give out chicken. Thank you to this place and how kind everyone is, especially the two young men that distribute food every Thursday. You all have helped me a lot.

I was blessed to have visited the center during a service and justice trip and it was an amazing experience. My group was provided an incredible and thorough in-depth analysis on immigration and possible solutions to the complex world of immigration. However, it wasn't just what we learned that made the experience great, but who we met. Mary, Saif, Amanda, and Marisol you blessed us with not only your knowledge but by being so open with us and that's what I will cherish the most. Most people aren't comfortable revealing aspects of their lives especially the hardships they face, but your stories and the work you all do to help others is truly inspiring. Amanda has such a difficult job but for her to take time out of her schedule, go with us to the courthouse and explain to us the court processes and introduce us to the judges and the U.S. Marshals, I am eternally grateful.

To Saif and Mary, our hosts, Mary you are an inspiration to my entire group. You are an amazing strong powerful woman, and I will make sure to not waste my time when I'm sitting at the table. Thank you, for sharing with us about not only complaining about a problem but also providing the solutions.

Saif, you are the best. From educating us, to showing us around the city, to sharing with us your life and your favorite spots, and for keeping us safe. Your knowledge on immigration was incredible and you made me look at perspectives I didn't even think about. Thank you for being so open with us and making this experience not only really fun, but a once in a lifetime experience.

I am very grateful for all of the resources this agency provides. i personally have received immigration help here and their director is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend them if you need any kind of help.

My name is Melissa, and my grandmother just moved in with us here in Boise this year. She has been telling us stories of an amazing place in Anthony where she used to attend classes and get chicken every week. I did some research about you all and decided to leave this review.

Thank you for not only feeding my grandmother but for also providing her a place to attend and make friends and be able to pass the time. When we moved away for my husband's job we were very worried about her being on her own even though my sister lived in El Paso. Here we are today learning she had an amazing place to go to and I just had to share that Alma loved it there and misses you all greatly and speaks very highly of all of you, especially your volunteer Mary.

Very good customer service

Est\u00E1 haciendo bien: tener actividades interesantes y a un bajo costo, incluir s todas las personas que lo solicitan,mejorar: realizar m\u00E1s cortos los eventos de fin de semestre

I am very grateful to this place. I finally accomplished my dream of becoming a U.S. Citizen thanks to their classes. They helped me through the whole process, along with preparing my paperwork and practicing the interview. Thank you.

We were in need of clothes as a single mom with 5 girls and one boy things are tough but the helped tremendously even gave my girls college advice... keep up the good work

Came down to the Center as a participant of the SCSJ program at my university.

I was amazed not only with the work the center does but the layout of their entire program. I ended up learning more about immigration in just that one week span compared to my studies. They brought in an amazing roster of experts to speak with us and they made the entire week a fun experience.

I often look back at my experiences down in Anthony when I'm having a hard day. Meeting Saif and Mary was the biggest highlight as these two individuals not only do so much for their community but they changed my life. They accepted all of us into their home as we were family just visiting for the week. They taught me lessons I would never forget, and most importantly they made me feel comfortable with who I am. Allowed me to express my opinions without judgment and we were able to have insightful discussions with one another.

I thank these amazing leaders for an unforgettable experience, but for also being so open, welcoming, and well educated on the issues. Anthony is lucky to have you and I wish there was a Center just like yours in California. I would be there every day.

Currently in law school but I recommend everyone from the SCSJ take the time to visit this Center and the incredible people that run it. They will impact your lives forever. I carry them with me everywhere I go.

I brought two of my family members for help. The first time I brought my mother for help with her citizenship application and the second time to help my sister renew her residency. I came here because it was recommended to me after I was looking for another place because the attorney screwed up the paperwork for my mother.

We met with a lady named Mary who is in charge of the center and she helped us fill out all the paperwork, but before that she thoroughly explained what we would need to submit with the paperwork and also made sure to check with us that we were positive my mother could pass the test. If not, she let us know they had classes that could help. She wanted to make sure our time wasn't wasted which I found very genuine and very kind that she offered to help us prepare for the test.

We got everything submitted and as of present-day my mother became an American citizen. We loved her help so went back to take care of my sister's residency renewal.

All I have to say is I recommened the Center if you need immigration help. They are very honest and walk you through the entire process.

I have never gone to receive services or to the classes but i have taken advantage of their little library. Little libraries are not a new concept but I love the little library at the center. My kids have picked out several new books to read and not too long ago they left out covid self-tests and food.

We picked up both and the tests were a big help for my husband. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of visiting WInC through the SCSJ program offered by my university. I just graduated and this is by far one of the biggest experiences that stuck with me throughout my education.

Coming down to WInC to learn about immigration and the Anthony community impacted my life in a way I would have never expected. There's so much I could talk about with everything I experienced during my week there, but the biggest impact the program had on me was meeting all of the incredible women that inspired me and they shined a beacon on the type of woman I hope to become as I progress through my life story.

Mary Carter, the Executive Director of WInC, you taught me to be proud of who I am and stand my ground for the issues I believed in and how to fight for them. To use my words wisely and also be there to help others whenever I could. You amazed me with your stories but also your devotion to helping others, I just can't imagine my life not meeting you because it was an essential part of my journey.

Judge Garza, is one of the shining examples of an incredibly strong and caring Federal Judge. My time at the Federal Courthouse and the opportunity to meet with you and learn about the process of the courts helped me better understand the court system. So much went on without me truly understanding the process, but seeing you in that position and not only the work you do but also knowing how hard you work in your position to be compassionate and also uphold the law was incredible. You are incredible and I'm happy to see you able to balance caring for migrants while also being fair in following the judicial process. Most of all for taking the time to talk with our group. It was so amazing just to see a strong woman figure that sits on the bench.

Amanda Skinner, NM Asst. Federal Public Defender, another strong role model that I loved meeting so much. Being able to sit down with you not only to hear about your work as a Federal Public Defender but also to be open with our group about what we could do to help change the system. Hearing your stories but also seeing such a strong knowledgeable defender of the people gave me so much hope for our legal system. I know you and your entire team truly work their hardest to protect an individual's rights.

Jess Spohn, Clinical Director at the Dona Ana County Triage Center, RI International. The work you do when it comes to mental health and leading the way to treat it in your community was incredible, but also seeing the importance of being yourself and creating a workspace that is accepting of everyone regardless of gender and sexual orientation. You don't see as many role models such as yourself, so being able to sit at the table next to you and hear from you inspired me and motivated me to create places that respect your choice and make you feel comfortable for being who you are.

Marisol Diaz, Save the Children Action Network, you have been through so much, yet you don't let it hold you back or define you. You are your own woman and not only do you fight for what you believe in, but you also fight the perceptions people choose to have on one another based on race or gender. I can picture you proving people wrong every day and it was incredible to hear about your journey and everything you do now.

This was truly the greatest part of the experience is being able to witness and speak with all of the incredible women. Most times you're used to seeing males at the table, but here in this community, we got to meet with so many strong women, in strong positions, fighting for what they believed in without fear of being judged, without fear of being put down, they all stand strong.

I truly have to thank Saif who coordinated everything my group experienced for the week. Not only is he a strong ally to women but probably one of the best guys I know now. From making sure we were comfortable, making sure all of our questions were answered, making sure we had a great time, and taking us to see the sights, it wouldn't have been the experience it was without you. You are incredibly smart and the program you designed is "true perfection" (stealing that from you). But it truly is perfection, I learned so much, met people that changed my life, and the entire experience was so much fun it almost didn't feel like a standard trip. It was a unique experience and one I tell everyone they need to try especially if they want to learn more about immigration. You weren't biased, you didn't force an opinion on us, frankly, you were hard to read and that's because you wanted us to decide for ourselves how to look and feel about immigration and life at the border. You dropped everything on us and I found that amazing because I didn't feel influenced at all to feel like I should be on this side or that side.

The connections you have with every individual we met were the best part. Each and every person you introduced us to, seemed like they were family to you. From the way you spoke about them to your interactions with each of them was beautiful. You made me want to treat everyone like that, everyone in your life is special, and I just loved seeing that. I don't if you have known them for years, but that's exactly what it felt like. You allowed me the opportunity to see so many strong women at the table it gave me so much hope for future groups that will get to meet these empowering women of greatness.

Thank you, WInC.

Well, I went for the citizenship classes. I've heard about them and I'd heard of their 100% passing rate. So I enrolled, came to almost every class. Very easy to follow, gave me the tools. I studied, Mary helped me to file the application and prepare for my interview. I went to the interview appointment and passed! I'm so happy!!! Thank you bunches for your help and support throughout this process!!!

Shout out to Saif and Mary, two of the most influential people I have ever met. Love you both, such an incredible family.

I've been seeing all the videos and pictures on insta and so happy to see you all are still running your border awareness program.

I came down for an SCSJ a few years back and the experience down at the border forever changed my life in ways I could have never imagined.

Between all the people and organizations we met with I was able to gain a better understanding of immigration and not only what migrants face but also how we could work on doing a better job of changing the system. I consider that every time I vote and when I speak with my representatives.

The biggest impact though was you, Saif and Mary. The bond you have as a family is what I hope to have with my family someday, but on top of that I remember all of the lessons you shared with me. Thank you Mary for teaching me to know my worth and demand what I want. Because of you I was able to get my job after I graduated and demanded the salary I felt was right for me, which was more than they were offering, but I knew my worth and I got what I wanted.

To Saif, thank you for teaching me to be proud of who I am and the really fun memories you created. Most of all thank you for treating my group like adults. You let us be free and also showed us an incredible time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my lifeline.

Please continue this amazing program.

Yo como promotora de salud le doy las gracias al centro por apoyarnos en prestarnos un lugar donde podemos dar clases de salud a nuestra comunidad.

When I first came here, I hated all of you. I was placed here by TANF and I couldn't stand the people in charge here. Every location I was sent to would just give us busy work. The lady in charge here didn't do that. She actually wanted us to come up with ideas, develop our skills and break out of our shells. In the beginning, I thought she was crazy along with the other two guys that volunteered there. They actually made us work and it annoyed me so much.

I asked to change locations because I wanted to stick with something easier. It wasn't until after I left I realized I was just living a life taking advantage of the system and not doing anything with my life. It was after meeting these amazing people that I hated I knew, I just knew I had to change my life. I went back to school, got my GED, and got a job that I loved. This job provided me the opportunity to get my college degree which I did, and led me to my current job in Denver, Colorado. I no longer live off of government assistance, I moved my kids out of Anthony which wasn't a great place to raise them. I never realized at the time but I feared what they would grow up as with the negative influences in Anthony. I was hung up on my baby daddy and just going day by day.

Thanks to the center I have my amazing jobs, my kids are growing up in a better environment, I purchased a new car, I met my wonderful fiance, and I no longer have to just make it. I hated you all but I am thankful because you woke me up. So in reality, THANK YOU for waking me up.

Very grateful for everything you have done for our community. Had an amazing time at your Halloween Potluck and the Halloween goodie bags and gifts were beautiful. I admire this place because you know what they do is coming from their hearts. You know they are here to help whoever walks through their doors. They are the one organization you can come to for anything and not be afraid that they will look at you as dumb or lost. Thank you for being a part of our community.

The Center is a pinnacle of importance for the Anthony community. I've attended a few of their classes in the past, I've recommend family and friends to the Center, and every time I speak with them they always talk about how much the center has helped them. Any issue you might be having, the center is well rounded in a variety of ways to help you, or they also know how to access other resources elsewhere that can be of use to the said issue.

From the classes, to the food distributions, to the immigration assistance, the Center is there for the community. I know the city is planning on opening a multi-generational center and I hope they consult and work with the Center because they are experts in our community on how to do it right. If they don't, well that's a huge loss.

Thank you for everything you do.

Was just there a few days ago for their Candidate Forum. 5 stars all around. I really enjoyed their candidate forum, the questions presented, and there wasn't any crazy outbursts. There was only one issue when one of the mayoral candidates mic went out for a few seconds, but other than that I found it to be a perfect event.

Thank you for hosting this as it was very informative.

This nonprofit organization provides quality information to women/members about assistance programs. This organization also sells slightly used clothes for every member of the family at very convenient prices and provides good quality Zumba, yoga, dance, etc.. classes at very convenient prices as well.

Full disclosure, I have never received services at the Center, however, I am a donor and I will explain why.

I often donate food, clothes, and other miscellaneous items. I used to donate to the goodwill until the report came out about how much money they made especially the CEO. I wanted to find a place to donate to that isn't profiting and making their CEO rich. Yes they give people jobs, but they could do better.

I was recommended to donate to the Women's Intercultural Center by my friend at the post office. She told me that about the work the Center does so I decided to pay a visit. Upon visiting I met a young man who gave me a quick tour of the Center and shared their work with me. This was back in 2019 and I was absolutely enamored with their work and he explained to me what happens with all of the donations. I decided after that tour and the presence of the center was so welcoming that I decided to donate my items there.

Since donating I've met countless others who were helped by the center. Either by receiving their services or receiving free food and clothing, and I have two friends that shop their little thrift store. They tell me all the clothes are sold for 25 cents and I think that is amazing along with that all the profits go straight to the center because the entire center is operated by volunteers. I love that and continue to donate. You don't have to go far to meet someone that has been impacted by the center.

I highly recommend donating to this organization and shop their store and attend their classes to help support them. Lastly, if you need help, don't waste your time with others and go to them and they will change your life.

A while back I saw a Facebook post that Anthony was one of the worst cities to live in, and unfortunately, I agreed which is why the second I got a job offer somewhere else, I left. Unemployment is high, so is crime that is both reported and unreported, we have a community that knows who the thieves are but don't speak up because they are afraid they will come after them next. It's not a united city and not only is it upsetting I see nothing changing with those current leaders in charge. I'm glad I left but the one place I will miss is the Women's Intercultural Center.

The Center was the best part about living in Anthony. I loved the classes, I loved the people, and whenever I needed help or knew someone that did, the center was the place to go. I had the courage to demand a raise at my job which led to an even better opportunity because of the time I had at the center. The center made me a stronger person and taught me to take my life to the next level.

Thank you for helping me get out of that city and thank you for all the memories. I moved to Dallas with a huge jump in pay and my life has been forever changed. Your volunteers inspired me especially Mary and Saif. You all are wonderful people and that city takes you foregranted. You all should close and move here to Dallas, we would love you and take you in.

Just keep up the awesome work

The Womens Intercultural Center is more than a local nonprofit. For many of us, the Center has been a lifeline in unsure and unstable times. It is where we have had the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Here we have had the opportunity to participate in meaningful and relevant trainings and classes that teach the proverb of fishing, so we have the opportunity to support our families for generations. In my own experience, the center was a beacon of hope and a shelter of healing for me. Through one of my toughest life experiences, when my body was sick, my mind was weak, and my soul was crushed, the center was a refuge. The support I received from staff and the lessons I learned aided me in healing my whole self and becoming a stronger, more aware and mindful person and professional. I am eternally grateful to the Center, its staff, and donors who have fed me and my family during trying time and also allow me the opportunity to give back in the humblest of ways.

Your weekly food distributions have helped me provide food to my grandchildren every week. It helps me save money and time from cooking. Thank you to you and KFC and everyone else that donates to make it possible. I wouldn't change a thing about you all. I love your volunteers and what you do for the community.

Anthony and it's people suck, especially our city leaders. I thank the Lord every day we have your center to turn to and grateful for everything you give us. People here are unappreciative and don't realize the amount of work you all do. THank you, for anyone reading this, this is a wonderful place and they do whatever they can to help everyone that comes to their doors. our community is greedy but thank you for always being there for us.

Thank you for your fan distribution. With the summer coming it was nice to take this fan home, it feels amazing. Thank you for thinking of us. I also understand the address verification. Some people in line were switching spots to try to get an extra fan, can't trust people sometimes but thank you for all you do.

It's helping the community. The only thing I would change is to advertise more about the stuff they do.

Thank you for thinking of us in Anapra. I didn't know you all were from Anthony, so thank you for delivering food to us. We are very thankful of you all and Olga. Thank you thank you, thank you.

I love all of the support you are providing for our community. You fed my family at times we were really suffering. Thank you, although I apologize for those in our community that have tried to steal from your center and trespassed. You all don't deserve that. Thank you for not giving up on us.

I believe that they are doing well. With covid they still manage to help others in the community. Very grateful for all of the services.

Hands down the best place to go to when you need help. Thank you to everyone that works there. If you are lost and unsure about resources in the area, need to talk, need food, this is the place. They will do everything in their power to help you. Blessings to everyone that works here.

Thank you for doing more for us during this time, while our city leaders just sit around during this pandemic. Thank you for everything you do.

Full disclosure I have never been to this non-profit in person. I heard about the work they do and the incredible volunteers they have through my friend. I follow their Facebook and Instagram and am so proud of all the work they do.

Recently, I had the pleasure of listening to their Executive Director Mary Carter speak to us through Zoom. This woman is absolutely fascinating and I am grateful we have a leader like herself leading the center. Just wanted to say love your work, and I will make sure to be my most autentic self.

The center is the type of family member that never gives up on you no matter how many times you come to them and no matter how many times you're ungrateful. I agree with the others, our community can be really ungrateful but thank you for never giving up on us. Thank you for all of the amazing services you provide, Most importantly thank you for all of the love you have for our community.

I actually only shop their thrift store because of not only the amazing prices they have but because I know 100% of it goes back into the community. I have family and friends who have either gone to their classes or have received support from them. Two of my own family members, one loved her cake decorating classes, and the other not only got assistance to renew her green card, but also received a lot of emotional support from the director there.

I haven't had a chance to go back to their store because I moved farther away, but if you can support them please do. All the clothes are only 25 cents and everything elsed is still priced really well, it's a bargain. I know they give back everything. I've seen it for myself, heard for myself, and I've even called about families I know that have lost their homes, items, etc and they helped them restock with whatever they had. So thank you and I hope you all are doing well during COVID. I wanted to give back and some way and just learned I could review you.

Thank you for everything you do. From the toy distributions, food distributions, heater distributions, from just being here for us. Thank you so much. I read the other review and yes it is true and unfortunate but people in my community really are ungrateful. A lot of them just think things should be handed to them.I apologize for that and thank you for putting up with it and not giving up on us.

Thank you to all of the people at the Women's Intercultural Center. You are a literal blessing to our community, and I know a lot of people in this area are ungrateful, but I want you to know some of us appreciate the work you all do. Thank you for your constant food distributions every week. Bless you.

I just wanted to say thank you to your organization and all of your volunteers. I lost my job last year in 2020, and I was really worried about how I would make ends meet. With the center's help I was able to get food weekly that helped me feed my family until food stamps and unemployment came in. Thank you for all you do and for not discriminating against anyone. I thought since i was coming from Anthony TX you would all deny me, but one of people i met while waiting for food said you take everyone. Thank you for being a resource I could turn to when I was in need.

This review is long overdue but I am in my final year of university, and I just really need to thank the Women's Intercultural Center for changing my life. I am very thankful for meeting Saif and Mary and it was my experience with them that got me through to completing my degree.

First off the program they created was absolutely incredible. I learned a lot about the border and immigration and it was a topic I already thought I knew. The experience was fun, educational, absolutely blew my mind with the connections they have with Border Patrol, CBP, and even politicians. I could have never imagined that this is what my experience would have been. I'm thankful for all they taught me, but I am more thankful for the personal experience they provided to me.

Mary is an incredible leader and the kind of woman I want to be when I grow up. She shows no fear and stands up for what is right. Her life has been an incredible adventure, one you think should be a movie. She educated me to make sure to have my voice heard and not waste my time when I am at the table. I need to speak my voice if I want a change in my community or any issues I care about. She also ensured I understood I needed to understand both sides of the issue and ensuring I work with others that may not agree with my opinion.

Saif, I am extremely grateful to you as well. You taught me to be myself and not be afraid to express my feelings, to show who I am, and you gave me the confidence to not only change my major because I absolutely hated it but the confidence to come out to my parents. Between my major and my parents not knowing about me, I was extremely stressed and depressed. The talks with you, you telling me that my happiness was important above everything else was a lesson I would never forget. You are one of the most amazing people I know

Thank you both for sharing all your knowledge with me, this experience, and just for providing a personal touch with your program.

In the summer of 2019, WINC hosted me and 2 friends (a psychologist, a social worker, and a lawyer -- hailing from Massachusetts and England) for 2 weeks so that we could provide pro bono services to asylum seekers and lawyers at Diocesan Migrant & Refugee Services in El Paso. Not only did WINC graciously house and support us, they also educated us about immigration, Customs & Border Protection, the greater El Paso community, and how to use our personal power for the greater good! I will always remember them with love and deep respect and appreciation for all they do for their community each and every day.

I am grateful for everything you do for the community. Thank you for helping us with your weekly food distribution. It means the world to us.

Thank you for helping me feed my family. you all are amazing and have helped us a lot.

They are an essential asset to the community. During covid they really stepped up to help a lot of people and we are really grateful

I love the women's cultural center because they are not racist and include anyone in the benefits they have regardless of the immigration status that is a great help for many who do this for life and they help so many people \u2764\uFE0F Number 5\u2705

I love everything they do and how they have adapted their operations to meet the needs of the people through this pandemic.

I would like to thank The Women's Intercultural Center along with Toni & Robert Jaquez. During this pandemic they took the initiative to help families in need. My family was blessed with a gift card from WInC to one of our local grocery store to make our Thanksgiving memorable. Thanks to them I was able to provide a decent meal. WInC has always helped me emotionally, moral support and in many ways like this time with a gift card \uD83E\uDD70.

Women's intercultural center is essential source of services including food distributions. It has helped my family during these difficult times knowing their there is a huge relief. The gifts cards are a blessing as well.

Great service, amazing team and a proud group of generous people with big hearts! Thank you for everything you all do in our community, as you continue to inspire us everyday!

Good thank u god bless u with the help of today with the food n gift card

This group is doing well and I highly recommend this center for assistance

They do a great job at helping people when they're in need

If you need motivation, the Center is there. If you need someone to talk to, the Center is there. If you need food the Center is there. If you want to learn new skills or talents, the Center is there. If you need advice, the Center is there. If you need any kind of help, the Center is there. If you want your life completely changed for the better, the Center is there.

The Women's Center is the one place in Anthony that can completely change your life and it isn't just their work to help others but it is the people running the Center that make it one of the most unique non-profits I have ever visited. If you have the opportunity to visit, I urge you to seriously stop by because your life will forever be changed. There are three volunteers I will always hold the closest to my heart during my visit there and they would be Saif, Mary, and Allen. Saif and Mary are two of the most incredibly inspiring individuals you can meet in your lifetime. Not only have the accomplished so much but they provide the best advice in the world and really make it feel possible that you can overcome anything you may face in life. Allen while I did not get to talk with him much, he still has one of the most welcoming faces and beautiful smile and you just know he has the kindest of hearts.

I ended up here on a school trip to learn about immigration and all I can say is wow, not only did I learn a lot but I gain a new family not only Saif, Mary, and Allen but a few of their participants like Judith, Veronica, Lazaro and more. I came for just a week but I am impressed with how amazing this non-profit and wish we had one in my area. Although, I know Saif and Mary would tell me that I could have one here, and I would just need to create it.

I don't want to yammer on forever, because I know I would but the Center is the heart and soul of not only Anthony but some of the kindest, strongest, most inspiring people you can ever meet. They completely changed my life and if there's anything I could ask for them is to please support them, donate to them, volunteer with them because they truly use all their resources to impact their community.

Thank you.

HELP , they help alot of people in many ways they provide a wide variety of programs. Very happy and thankful .

The Women's Intraculutural Center is a big part of our community that provides many resources and educational services! Thank you!

Excellent staff appreciate all they do for community.

No need to improve they are doing a great job

I love the help the Women's Intercultural Center does for the community, from the food distribution to the classes offered. Thank you so much.

This non profit organization does a very good job with interacting and helping the community with a large variety of problems. It is doing very well as there are always community members present. It could improve by making itself more known to the public.

This profit goes above and beyond expectations. Ms Mary and her son are so helpful!

I am currently taking guitar at the center, and have been since September 2018. I have very much enjoyed my experience. The staff are great and very accommodating. Keep up the great work!

WInC is a community center, beyond what is the most obvious, their ED serves to empower, educate, and uplift individuals one by one so that they can continue to grow and thrive in their families and their communities, but most importantly, for themselves. This nonprofit center has provided and continues to be a safe place for families to gather, learn, and share.

The Center is such a beautiful place and truly needed not only in Anthony but the world. I can't thank them enough for all of the experiences I had there and to see the impact they are making every day. Truth be told when I first arrived here I was going through a lot of depression. I felt lost and really didn't know what to do with my life. Every second of the day I just thought about it being the last day. I first came to the center as part of a trip for my school. We participated in the border awareness experience program that the center offers. Not really sure why I took the trip and signed up with my school to do it. Trips are randomly assigned so I expected to go somewhere else but I'm so glad I came here.

Upon arriving our group first ended up meeting Saif and little did I know this guy along with another individual would change my life. Just within the first 10 minutes Saif made us feel like we were at our second home and that we were now part of his family. He was so funny and so genuine that we couldn't help but love him. The first day he took us out to see the border highway and scenic drive in El Paso, TX. He showed us where the border was between U.S. and Mexico and a few personal stories of him growing up in El Paso right next to Mexico. Just from this first night alone I knew this was going to be a great week.

The rest of the week we got to meet with Border Patrol, visit a Federal Courthouse and speak with attorneys and judges, met with Las Americas, Human Rights Activists, and more. It was an absolutely incredible experience and I wasn't expecting to see both sides of the issue. My group was primarily one sided but interacting with Border Patrol, the attorneys and judges we definitely opened up our outlook of thinking. We realized we had the power to change what we didn't like and that Border Patrol, Customs, ICE were definitely not the bad guys. They were so open with us and allowing us to ask anything and even shared their own experiences. Immigration wasn't the only issue we touched on because after 5 we had time on our own and while I thought Saif would leave after that time, no he was always there if we needed anything so being able to talk to him was a benefit. By the second night Saif spoke to us about his viewpoints of immigration as a whole but also his viewpoints on other issues. One issue that came up was depression and he talked about someone close to his life suffering depression. At first he believed it was something easy to overcome and never understood why he didn't. He ended up learning that it wasn't an easy thing to overcome and which is why he talks with him everyday and spends time with him checking up on him and doing outings and turning video games into topics of life to overcome depression. Just from talking to him I started to open up to him about my depression and he offered me a few tips of advice which has helped me tremendously. If it wasn't for him I don't believe I would have ever graduated from my university.

Later that week we also ended up meeting Mary the woman who runs the center and if I wasn't already impressed with Saif, I was blown away with her. She was so intelligent, motivational, and so down to earth. She shared with us her story of ending up at the center and all the various places she worked at. She shared with us the importance of understanding both sides of an issue and sitting at the table to make sure our voice is heard and to fight for what we want. She became the type of woman I wanted to be when I grew older. She taught us to speak for ourselves and to speak up, she taught us to love ourselves, she taught us to enjoy life even more just like Saif did.

I could go on and on about everything I learned there, but in the end just know this center changed my life and see them doing that every day with every person that walks through their doors. I was blessed to have come down to Anthony and honored to have met Saif and Mary. Thank you to the both you.

I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Director there Mr. Almuhaibi. This past weekend I was visiting my aunt and I had no idea she was a victim of domestic violence. She told me the story of how she came to the center and he opened up the doors to assist her. She talked about how weary she was to speak to him but how he reached out to her and how kind he was and how patient he was to listen to her. She described him as a saint who was placed there to assist her when she truly needed it the most. Upon more research I found out my other family members have also visited for other services the center provides. I am very impressed with their recycling initiatives and their book lending library to promote reading. I am impressed with the variety of classes they offer and how they work to make every participant feel comfortable and address their needs.

I visited the center on Sunday to attend the Xochitl Town Hall meeting because she was a candidate I voted for and I was very impressed by not only the turn out but an incredible job you all did hosting her. I saw that Mary is now the director and was wondering if Mr. Almuhaibi is still around. I was hoping to possibly run into him and thank him for what he did. Upon further research on the facebook page I learned I could do a review. So in essence I love all the work you are doing and I love that so many women have a place to go to when they are in need. Thank you.

Well: creative, resourceful, encompassing, relevant and real Improve: tie in a compost program and sustainable ag education/surrounding community input

The WINC is a great place to volunteer and help my community out. They are very welcoming and helpful.

The Women's Intercultural Center helps me interact with other women in my community. They care for the empowerment and betterment of ALL women.

The Women's Intercultural Center is providing my community and fellow women with amazing educational opportunities that are unmatched throughout the region.

I am proud of them for doing, such a wonderful job for the community.

Wonderful experience. Our parenting group was always very supported by all the staff of the Women's Intercultural Center. It was a great privilege to have the opportunity of doing our parenting group at this location.

They are helping the refugees who need to learn how to pass the immigration test. They are so welcoming and caring, nothing needs to be improved.

Volunteering at this non-profit brings me absolute joy. They truly are the pillar of the community. They offer an incredible variety of classes that I have seen many individuals from the community enjoy. They offer an emergency food pantry along with giving out food every Thursday which is absolutely incredible. When I was there they were usually providing food to 10-15 families. The best part of my experience was talking to the director Sef. (Pretty sure I spelled that wrong, I'm sorry, really sorry, I lost your card with the correct spelling). Talking with him I was able to discover the passion for what I wanted to do with my life. For a while, I was pretty unsure what I wanted to do but I have happily applied for a federal law enforcement job. I just came here to knock out some hours but never expected to meet someone as incredibly inspiring and helpful as Sef. He truly does whatever he can to help the community and take the time with each person and any concerns they may have. Thank you.

I enjoy volunteering at the Center. It has given me the opportunity to grow as a person.The staff is very helpful .I look forward to my future with the Center.I want to thank Saif and for the opportunity and knowledge they have given me.

I take the citizenship classes and really like the classes. I would like see a day care.

I have to admit when I first walked into this place I was a little worried that the first person i ran into when coming in was a young man. I came here because I was dealing with a domestic violence issue and because my husband held a large threat over me. i had no idea where to go or what to do, all I did was panick for months and stayed in the relationship because I had nowhere to go and because of my two sons.

When i came to the center they were actually already closed, but a young man spotted me at the front and opened the door and asked me if i needed anything. I was taken aback and just wasn't sure how to respond because you really don't expect to see a man at a placed called the women's intercultural center. I had no idea what to do but something spoke to me and just told me to tell this young man what was going on. He told me he would be happy to help and brought me inside and we went to his office so he could help me. THis wasn't the first time I asked for help, i actually went to an organization down the street, but they sent me away saying they could not do anything. I thought this would be the same but this young man had a certain spark about him that just made me trust him. He started making some calls based on the information I provided him and I was able to file a police report with an officer that he trusted, he then made some other calls to help me file some paperwork that would protect me from the threat my husband was holding over my head. He also provided me a place to stay if needed, however, thankfully a friend had already taken me and my kids in. This young man did everything in his power to resolve my issue and because of him I am grateful to no longer be afraid of my husband. There is more to the story, but it is a little personal, but the police were able to gather enough evidence to take in my husband.

after helping me i really wasn't sure how to thank him, he told me he wasn't here for thanks he was here because God put him in this place to assist others that he guides to the Center. It was also at this moment that I found out his name was Saif and he was the executive director of the women's center. I took one of his business cards because there was no way i was going to remember how to spell that name, but i am forever grateful. I leave this review so others can know not to worry if they see a young man at the women's center, because this young man has a huge heart and he really cares.

Thank you!!!

When I arrived at the Center I was unaware of all the services they provided to the community. The community is truly blessed to have staff and volunteers with as much knowledge , caring and understanding .I can say volunteering at the Center has changed me as a person.

Como instructora estoy muy satisfecha con mi clase, con el personal del centro y con mis alumnas. Espero poder seguir ofreciendo mis servicios como voluntaria...es fascinante. Como alumna; me gustaria ver mas actividades....clases de diabetes, Ingl\u00E9s, GED y manualidades diversas.

There really good the staff is so helpful, and they greet the staff with good manners. Im so happy to be able to learn how to decorate cakes in this facility.

I absolutely love this place! I've learned so much, and made great friends. Great atmosphere, clean place and friendly people.

Son muy atentas muy amables y todo esta muy bien organizado

I really like the service given to me , I have been in several Zumba classes and this is one of the best In Anthony . Everyone is very nice and I feel very welcomed, I wouldn\u2019t change anything

I would like to see more classes to benifit ny family

They do really well with helping their community and people that come in for any particular service and if they can't help them they will do as much as they can to get that person on the right track!

The Women's Intercultural Center helps out the community in many different ways. They have counseling services, an emergency food pantry, A thrift store, and Learning programs. They also provide an ESL class for the participants that don't speak English as well as a Spanish Citizenship class that help those that need to get there citizenship. The Women's Intercultural Center provides a safe and welcoming environment for there participants.

Very Helpful & Good Service

They went above & beyond in helping host & advertise our health ed event. Great at communication & eager to find ways to help the local community.

The nonprofit is doing amazing at helping out the community. i expressed my need for some beds and they did not hesitate to donate to me some beds

This non profit is an incredible impact on the community. The leadership does a great job of educating and positively influencing everyone they come in contact with.

They are doing amazing things down in Anthony, New Mexico! I went down there for a service and justice trip to learn about the topic oearned so much more. They embody the true goal of a nonprofit hoping one day they will no longer be needed because the problem they aroesn't exist anymore. They are a nonprofit that puts in 110% into anyone that needs their help. They take great care of the people thery well.

They are very very helpful with all their classes

I just came down this week to visit and bring my grandma who needed some help with her citizenship paperwork. It was incredible to see that my old Border Awareness Experience Coordinator Saif Almuhairbi has become the Interim Executive Director. He helped us with all of the paperwork we did not fully understand and ensured that if we ran into any problems in the future, to be sure to call him and he would help us with those barriers. Saif is doing an incredible job leading the Center and I am excited to see the future advances they make under his leadership.

Thank you Saif and thank you to the Women's Intercultural Center for being there for people in need. I also have to say the Center looks incredible and the women look so happy.

I came here for what was called the Border Awareness Experience program. I would have to be honest, at first I really was not interested in immigration, and only came down for the credit with my school. Although, my life was changed forever after I met the Women's Intercultural Center staff, and specifically their new Interim Executive Director Saif Almuhairbi. Saif is truly an inspiration to all of those he speaks to. Not only is he very knowledgeable about immigration, and I was able to learn so much from him, but Saif also inspired me towards becoming an immigration attorney but also advocating for my community. If you have the opportunity to come down for this experience, seriously TAKE IT, the program changed my life and being able to meet the participants at the Center, meet with judges and attorneys at the courthouse, take a Border Patrol Tour on the border, and the opportunity to sit and talk with Saif truly was incredible. Thank you to the Women's Intercultural Center for this experience and I will definitely be back to Anthony. Saif, please continue the incredible work you do, and thank you for being so open with me and helping me tackle some of my fears.

The Women's Intercultural Center has an amazing staff that is devoted to improving the quality of life for many people going through the citizenship process. Their knowledge and insight to the immigration process was inspiring to learn from. This non-profit is extremely devoted to their clients and educating others about the work they do with the issues they face. If we had more people like them doing this work, our society would be a much better place. I am beyond grateful to have learned from these amazing people, and have been inspired by them to get involved with the immigration process in my own community.

I love this organization, I was a volunteer for a month and I hate to leave but I will definitely come back once in a while. They have the doors open for anyone , friendly environment. I love this place as a nonprofit professional environment to personal friendly proficient. Definitely highly recommend place for assistance , distress even to help your self or others from thrift store !

Im very happy about how they work in the women intercultural center, im thankful about how they treat me.

The center provides great workshops to engage with the community, and it allows the community to stay informed about important issues. The public has easy access to these workshops, and many other services provided by the nonprofit. It is a great place/ source for our community.

They actually do everything very well in all categories. I would have to say they don't get enough recognition for what they do and gratitude!

Truly incredible nonprofit that the community depends on. The work they do is beyond amazing and I will continue to support.

The Women Intercultural Center is a great non-profit organization for our community. The center has been a part of my life as I volunteered, completed my field experience and participated in many of the exciting classes that the center offers the community. Also Mary Carter has been a great mentor and has guided me the right direction, whether it’s personal or in a professional matter.

Well they provide a lot of different programs at a very reasonable price if any at all. They have Zumba, Guitar Lessons, Tia Chi, and many more for about a dollar or two. They also provide classes to enrich oneself and have many information on many different state programs available.

Over all my experience attenting the Women's Intercultural Center has been a great experince, I got to feel like I was part of them for the mean while. I enjoyed getting to see so manny diffferent faces as well as recognizing faces everyday whom they keep coming back. I helped around the store that the center provided, and also had people fill out questionarities for a project that the boss was working on. I also had the chance to meet and talk to older woman do to their personal experince. It was not only shoking to hear this touching stories, but it allowed me to value my self as an indivial and to recognize, and not let myself if I was ever to be in a situation like theirs. this experience also allowed me to attend and to be part of a Wiz Latina conference which was also a great experience that really moved me. For me not to forget whom we are and how special, and powerful we are and could be as Latinas. Overall my experience help me to gain confidence as a character and to believe in myself to achieve my goals in life. the center reminded me that woman are stronger that what they actually seem to be, and no matter how bad, painful, or awful a situation gets woman will always rise.

Mary Carter inspired us with her resourcefulness, optimism, and expertise! What a wonderful way to empower women in the area. Keep it up!

I have had several events held at the Center. The staff is polite, extremely helpful, and capable. The food good (I generally don't eat during events but am told its delicious) and the space large with lots of light and general ambiance. Decent parking and the location puts you in the middle of the community. They provide technology but you should bring your own screen/projector for something larger. That's the only critique I can muster. An overall great place to utilize.

(2/4) I had to study for the 100 possible questions that are on the exam. The instructor was phenomenal and had all the patience in the world. She broke down th

The WIC is a fantastic resource for people and business between El Paso and Las Cruces. The building provides amenities you need and want and the staff is supremely helpful. When you want to reach the communities of far west El Paso and far south Dona Ana the WIC is your fist choice.

The Women's Intercultural Center is a crucial part of the social fabric of Deming. They provide valuable service and support for their community.

Wonderful place. I always loved going to the center. Really helpful for me . Thank you !!

Love, love, love! I started volunteering here back in October of 2015. I love it because the center offers so many great things to the community. From english classes to zumba, whatever you want to do to better your life this place is the one to go. Not to mention the staff I worked with were simply awesome! Beginning with Mary, she always brought out the best in me, always giving great advice when I needed.

Working at the Women's Intercultural Center was one of my best jobs! Not only did I get to work side by side with a great Mentor but was able to share my own knowledge to educate and empower women out of their norm. Working their also brought me back to my culture, tradations and life expeiences I felt cheated from growing up that were never emphasized in my household. As the Fund Development Coordinator I was able to promote a worthy cause and get funding for women to enhance their skills. The most rewarding part of working there was the BAE groups meeting and venturing out with college students from all over the United States. Working with Mexican women who wanted to better their lives for themselves and to leave a mark on their legacy. The Women's Intercultural Center made me a better mom, stronger person and in touch with my hertiage I thank Mary Carter for being a great friend and Mentor!!

This non-profit serves the community of Anthony providing assistance to people. They graciously let us use a room to have a meeting even though we're not members as they knew it would help a member of the community. I wish there were more agencies like the Women's Intercultural Center. Thank you for your generosity.

It has provided a safe environment where I can come spend time volunteer or in a case of a event we family and friends. Also have programs and classes I learn

I couldn't be more grateful to the women's Intercultural center. They're a great non profit organization that really seek to empower and help the community. They have so much to offer to each unique individual that comes through their door. You get to meet wonderful volunteers and teachers, they all make you feel welcome and part of a family. I was fortunate to have given the opportunity to be part of the team. Thank you Mary for all your support and all the knowledge you passed on. You helped me grow as a professional and a women. I feel that I've come out of my shell and gained confidence on what I am capable of achieving and value myself as a strong women now. Thank you women's Intercultural Center for a great experience.

This agency offers many helpful resources to the community! Especially those are in need of getting there GED along with with helping those in need of learning English!

They provide great training opportunities to the community in Various subjects. We used their training spaces for a nutrition course to day care home providers. We were very please with the space thank you.

Great opportunity classes provided to the community. No improvement needed

They provide for the community in a lot of ways with classes and events. I always return because of the caring staff and volunteers. No improvement needed

This organization is efficient in what they do and cares about each individual. I'll keep coming for sure!

All the staff are really amazing and helpful they are a huge part in the community and volunteering seems like it would be so much fun. All and all it is an impeccable non profit organization I love it

This nonprofit is very well organize and it helps a lot of people in improving their skills, socially and confidence. One way they can improve is by havi NH more productive work available for the volunteers

In my case I think it's doing well because of its Judo program my daughter its more confident and out going and she loves it. I think it could improve a little if they keep rewarding them with their semester certificate to keep motivating them to keep coming to the classes

Todo esta vien me an tratado muy vien todo exelente

Muy bueno y exelente

I had a great experience at the center. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. I realized the center is made up of mainly volunteers. The services offered to the community and the women make an impact to families and create a better pathway of knowledge. The center programs events that invite the community families and encourages women to participate.
I had much fun participating and gaining this new experience.

The personnel/volunteers are very friendly and respectful. The nonprofit could improve by offering more workshops during the evenings and workshops to children and parents. Also, not assuming that volunteers know what the expectations are of doing certain things if they aren't shown or given examples of what is expected. Also, give volunteers the opportunity to interact more with the community, instead of doing secretarial work.

They are friendly and helpful, however as a volunteer I would OS have liked to have more contact with the people that attend center.

The Women's Intercultural Center offers incredible classes for the community and is making a difference when it comes to the workshops they provide. Keep it up.

I was a volunteer at The women's intercultural center and it was a really good experience. This center is helping the community to grow; it is doing a really good job by giving different programs and classes to people to learn something new. Each members are kind and treat you well. It was a really good experience. I think they can improve if they put the information of their programs in schools so that more jouth can come into the center to learn something new, get them to involve in their community and not being outside in the streets.

fue una gran experiencia participar en este centro. muchas gracias ! ! !

I volunteered at Women's Intercultural Center from October 2015 up until January 2016. It was an unforgettable experience. First, with Mary, executive director of WInC. From day one that I met her she drowned me with her intelligence and advice. In these few months she taught me different life lessons, and opened a different perspective on how to look at things. I was able to gain different types of work experience. Whether it was being the emcee at special events to marketing, she always believed in me and knew I would do a good job. The staff here at WInC are very welcoming, very polite and they treat you with respect. The way the Center helps so many people, giving away canned food and clothing for the less fortunate, gifts for Christmas, some free programs, etc., it's something that I will forever be in awe. I love the programs that the Center has to offer and I encourage you to inform yourself of the different events and programs the Center has to offer. I'm glad I got the opportunity to work here and be able to learn so many different things here at Women's Intercultural Center.

I volunteered at the Women's Intercultural Center for the past few months. I was impressed by the wide variety of cultural events and social services that they offer to the local community. The topics of classes range from the English language, Zumba, guitar, and U.S. Citizenship. They also host a variety of other programs and services to community, focusing on culture and empowering women. Overall, it is a great place and I learned a lot from my volunteer experience there!

I did service learning hours at the Women's Intercultural Center and it was a great experience. They treat people with respect and dignity without distinctions, even though the center is intended to help transform the lives of women they also open their doors to men and children. It is a place where you can see a multicultural agency developing where stereotypes are breaking down and consciousness is being raised.

Reaching isolated populations, provides great classes at affordable prices, fellowship and spiritual support

I like it alot they're are really nice people and they help alot to people in need in every where. I recommend this center

its a great non profit place. They offer help and its a great and friendly place.

They helped with my application and got a job. did GED test and very helpful people that care.

El Centro de la Mujer es una buena ayuda para nosotras las mujeres, social mente, academica mente para dar un paso a superarnos cada una de nosotras como seres humanos como madre y tambien como comunidad, pero todo esto es posible gracias a la ayuda de las secretarias pero muy especial mente a la senorita Magali que cada vez que necesito algo me recive con una sonrisa y en "que puedo ayudarle"

I attended the Feminine Fuerza Camp and they were great. I learned a lot from the different speakers that presented there.

I really enjoyed my time here! Everyone within the organization was courteous and friendly. Very motivated in what they do. I was so compelled that I even gave some merchandise for charity . Will definitely come and visit.

They give classes that are very productive and useful for an everyday living..

It has a lot of programs for women. They could improve by getting known by more people

Everything is well, they helped me with my taxes. They are great as rhey are.

Me ayudaron y la persona fue muy eficiente

They can improve by giving better gloves and have us show how much we did every thirty minutes

As a current volunteer at the Women's Intercultural Center I can honestly say that that I have enjoyed my time being here because of the friendly environment and especially the goal of this program. I have always enjoyed working/helping others but the people I have worked with in this center have true potential at what they do therefore to me it has made them some of the most welcoming and hardworking people I have ever interacted with. I am very thankful for being given the great opportunity of being of service to a program that is of great help to the people in the Anthony community.

When I volunteered at the center, I had the opportunity to meet some great people there. The women that run the center are so friendly and welcoming, they make the center feel like home. Not only that, but the classes they offer are spectacular. They have a wide range of classes and most, if not all, are in Spanish which is great for our community. They also have a thrift shop where most everything is 25 cents; this helps the center raise money and also helps community members that might not have sufficient resources to buy as $25 shirt. Overall, my experience at the center was amazing and I encourage everyone in the area to drop by sometime.

During my volunteer time here, I helped set up for a toy drive that would contribute to the local childrens hospital. It was a wonderful experience and the staff were wonderful as well. They are kind, friendly and very understanding. I most definitely recommend this organization for anyone looking to give back to the community.

Volunteering at the Women's Intercultural Center was a great experience. I am fascinated by all the classes they offer here. It is a great environment to work in, very peaceful and the people i worked with were very pleasant. It is good to know that women in our community have a place they can go to if they need help. I am thinking of returning to take some of the classes. I had a great time, Thank you for having me.

By doing my volunteer service at Women's Intercultural Center, I noticed the center needs as well as how they helped people. The center helps people to succeed as well as help them with any issues they might have. It was an awesome experience to be a volunteer because of all the different things I learned. I will share my experience with my classmates. Thank you so much.

I am from the community, and I did not know this organization existed until I started my Service Learning hours for a class I am taking. I was impressed with the Women's Intercultural Center, both in the building's architecture and with the work they are doing in the local community. Everyone who works at the Center has certainly achieved creating a safe haven for women to take classes to further their education, and to relax by going to yoga, zumba, or reiki. I greatly enjoyed volunteering at this Center; it is a very happy place to be.

The Women's Intercultural Center empowers women of color and other communities of color. It teaches those who arrive the tools needed to navigate, succeed and survive in the U.S. The program I worked in was called "Remapping Our Home" and we learned what the community has to offer us in hopes of becoming more active in the community. There's a very strong sense of solidarity among every women that arrives in the center and strong bonds of friendship are formed.

During my time at the Women's Intercultural Center I learned of the center's mission to empower women and people in general. I assisted mostly with compiling a guide with resources for the community. This gave me the opportunity to see the needs of people and how the center can refer them to the proper resources. I believe this agency is doing their job in meeting the community's needs from different aspects including the need of volunteers to complete community service. I enjoyed my time and hope to be able to be a participant in the future.

me encantan las clases es un ambiente muy bonito todas son muy lindas y me siento como en casa muchas gracias por todo lo ke aportan ala comunidad :)

las clases me ayudaron mucho,conosi a mucha gente todas muy amables y se lo recomiendo a las personas para que vengan.

todas las personas de women intercultural center son muy amables, y puedes confiar en ellas

Being part of WInC has been a great opportunity. I started as a participant in several classes and every time I attended the classes I felted welcome by everyone there. It helped me get through hard time because not only was I attending classes but I would go to chit chat and Mary Carter helped a lot. I became a better person and learn to process before reactin. Also I am more confident about my self and I learn that I need to love and take care of my self in order to be able to help others.

The Women's Intercultural Center, Inc has been extremely good to our organization in providing space and allowing us to hold our SU meeting at the center once a month. The staff at the center is so warm welcoming and helpful to our needs. Mary Carter is a very unique lady and very knowledgeable. Our organization is truly blessed to have found such an awesome location. Thank you

The Women's Intercultural Center has been wonderful in providing space and support for our community work group! Mary Carter is the best :) She has been helpful in providing our meeting space needs and flexible to our needs. She is passionate about serving the community of Anthony, NM. Thanks Mary and the center for your compassion and energy in serving this great community.

being here was a good experience and had a good time they were good and nice even i was doing community it was good i know now how to be better

i like doing community service her because every one is really nice and helpful. Mary and Magali are good at explaining to other people what they do here. the time i was here was very helpful to me because i got to do my community service hours fast and with out any problems, I even learned new things, like being patient and how to talk to be more social :).

having to do hours of community service can be fun but its not for people to deal with all the time they should take it as a second chance. learning from your mistakes actually helps to choose a different path

Im really glad i got to do community service here at the women's culture center because all the people here are nice to you no matter what and they are very organized

It was very fun volunteering here, the people who work here are extremely nice and caring, the things that I've helped out in were always so fun, and made me feel like a great person. This experience will be one I will carry with me forever.

I learn to help in preparing meals for the students, getting ready stuff for the coming classes or trainings, helping at the thrift store and getting involved with people motivating them to attend classes by making calls this definitely was new for me and was fun it was my new experience.. the best part was being part of the help that's a great feeling of accomplishment, knowing people was so good too.

I learned on the job training and learned to socialize with others. They also helped me process through my divorce and were extremely supportive in my time of need.

I've volunteered at this center and have never regretted it. The staff here automatically treated me like part of them. As a volunteer, they have worked with me in every way possible they can so that my experience there was always a good one. There are many activities here for the community to participate in ranging from citizenship classes, job fairs, judo for the kids, guitar lessons, they even have community dances here. I can honestly say that volunteering at this center has become something I won't forget.

This non-pofit organization is certainly one of the best I've worked with. The facility is not only staffed with a highly informed director but they're friendly and always willing to work with new clients.
Thank you Mary Carter!

WINC is a great nonprofit organization that not only empowers women but young girls as well. As a Girl Scouts leader I am grateful that the center has opened its doors and allowed us to have our weekly meetings there; giving us the opportunity to help build girls of courage, confidence, and character who will make our world a better place. Special thanks to Mary Carter for helping us make this possible!!

I am a student of the University of Phoenix, and I am doing my field experience with them. I picked this organization because it was the closest from where I live. I was surprised and amazed on how lucky i am in picking the Women's Intercultural Center on how Mary Carter directs the facility, as well as the organization and the thrift shop. the people that work in this place, as well as the volunteers made me feel welcomed and guided me to a wonderful experience in serving this place. Every time I set foot in this place I feel energized by the positive energy and influence that management has over this place. I will be forever grateful with the women's Intercultural Center, and the people who help run this place smoothly and in a very good environment. i for sure will be applying to do my second filed experience here in the women's Intercultural Center.

This is a great nonprofit organization, concentrates in the abilities and special gifts of each volunteer that participates in this. had a great experience volunteering in this organization.

a really good orginization they really help out
they helped all the women in my family out

I was physically abused my ex husband, which I was for over four years. Not only physically, but mentally. I was with him since I was 14 years old, he was very possessive, until recently, he decided to attack me. Someone had already told me ababout this great place, before I was brutally attacked, but I always took is as a "I'll go later." Not until it happened was when I decided to go. I've got to admit, at first I was very embarrassed because of the situation, but they give you such a welcoming and warming experience, they treat you and make you feel like you're actually worth something. I highly recommend this organization to any woman who is facing any type of abuse. Whether it's emotional, physical, or mental abuse.

A great center for us women...it's very beneficial and the staff is very dedicated in helping us with every question we might have. They're also very helpful and friendly to their members and new members. I recommend Women's Intercultural Center Inc., their number one priority is to educate an empower women.

This is an amazing organization because it makes you feel welcomed and satisfied. I truly do recommend for you to stop by. You feel comfortable and there are people who do listen.

This organization is truly helped women out! It makes you feel welcome and comfortable, the people there are great I think it's amazing. People should really come and check it out.

I felt very satisfied with this center, they make every one feel welcomed.

Its a great organization I always feel very comfortable and welcome here. It helps a lot and contributes a lot to the community.

Great organization, cares about the peoples needs and helps out any way they can.

This organization is very welcoming and it help many people.

here in the women's intercultural center they help a lot the community specially the women as their name says. they have different classes where the community can come and learn. they also have speeches about recent problems.

It was interesting leaning about the center and somewhat being part of the community.I had no idea about all the classes they have,the community thrift shop and that it was a place where I can donate my stuff.I really wish I had more things to do and be more involved but after all I had a good experience here.

Welcoming center with great facilities for group events!
Our organization needed a place to host a retreat in a very short notice, since our original plans changed last minute. Luckily, The Women’s Intercultural Center was able to work with us in a timely manner and accommodate to our needs. Our retreat was a success in great part for the wonderful and inviting facilities, dorms, a full kitchen, classrooms, a rooftop, and even a fire place! Every one of our participants was fascinated with the location and inspired by the genuine work this center does. This center welcomes everyone like family and walks side by side with their clients to achieve their success. A welcoming and friendly spirit is perceived the moment you walk through their doors where everyone is ready to give a hand.

It is a great thing when you are volunteering for a company, a school or etc. You learn new things from others, and others learn from you. Volunteering helps you experience what is needed for a workplace.

The Women's Intercultural Center is a wonderful non-profit that serves the women of Dona Ana county. I work for a different non-profit in the area and WInC is always bustling with activities, meetings, and many people--always a great sign for a center! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the center does so much good in the community with the food pantry, counseling services, sexual assault recovery services and so much more. Keep up the great work!!
