TARRYTOWN, NY / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2024 / KeyBank announces a two-year, $100,000 community impact grant made through KeyBank Foundation to Make The Road New York, the largest participatory immigrant organization in New York. The grant will help sustain the organization's Westchester Adult Education Project, which educates low-income immigrant adults in Westchester with English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Civics classes. With KeyBank's funding, the program will be able to serve at least 40 ESOL students each year, helping them improve their communication skills to better integrate into the community and live more economically stable and healthier lives.
Students served by the Westchester Adult Education Project are from Mexico, Guatemala and across Central and South America, many working in low-wage jobs with lack of access to healthcare and experiencing housing instability. ESOL classes support students to learn English so they can advocate for their rights at work, interact with healthcare providers, help their children with schooling, and more. Civics classes support eligible students to prepare for their citizenship exams. KeyBank's funds will be used for program implementation including personnel.
Westchester Adult Education Project student Edna Contreras is very grateful for KeyBank's support. "The (ESOL) classes have helped me improve my communication skills and now I am able to have a fluent conversation with my doctor, at work with my boss, and with the teachers at my son's school," she said. "A new grant from the KeyBank Foundation will enable these classes to continue to help dozens more immigrants in Westchester learn English, get better jobs, and navigate life in New York."
Make The Road New York annually serves 30,000 immigrants from across the Hudson Valley, Long Island and New York City. Their centers are neighborhood hubs providing educational programs, as well as wraparound services such as immigration legal services, computer and financial literacy, employment training and job placement, health insurance and benefits enrollment, and more.
"KeyBank believes in doing our part to improve the lives of disadvantaged populations in our neighborhoods through education, workforce development, and community investment," said KeyBank Market President John Manginelli. "As a company recognized for our strong Diversity, Equity and Inclusion culture, we welcome people of all cultures to our community and are proud to help support their successful assimilation."
KeyBank's grant to Make The Road New York is part of the bank's $40 billion community investments plan focused on economic access and equity to communities across the country. The scope of the plan includes investments and lending in affordable housing, home lending, small business lending, green initiatives, and transformative philanthropy targeted toward workforce development, education, and safe, vital neighborhoods for underserved communities and populations.
