How can I help out other latinas/latinos in NYC? Especially my dominicanos/dominicanas.
What kind of services can you provide? I would go pay a visit to Northern Manhattan Improvement Corp. They are a non for profit that offer all kinds of community services for Wash Heights/Inwood. A lot of the staff is Dominican. Their offices are on wadsworth near 175. There is also alianza dominicana. But their presence seems to have waned and I am not up to date on what kind of services they provide.

Just to help the community, talk to people, give advice, make new friends. I want to gather enough people to make an annual fundraiser for washington heights.
You may want to start with teaching them english and push education and job training. I live in Inwood and see far too many young girls before there time with kids and young men that should and could be working hanging out in the street getting into unnec. trouble
Thank you. That was the best response this thread is going to have. (And for the record, I'm proud to be a native Brooklynite. We should all start announcing what we take pride in!)
I am still unclear why someone would feel pride about something they had zero control over? I am proud of my accomplishments, my relationship with family and friends, my community and the work that we do to make things better, the sacrifices others have made to help me in life, and the sacrifices I have made to help others.
But to be proud I am Hispanic would be like me being proud I have brown hair, or have 2 legs and 2 arms....I was born with those the same way I was born Hispanic. It was not a choice, not something anyone earned or deserved. You can be proud of the accomplishments of the group for example, or certain people in the group, but being proud of being Hispanic makes no sense. Unless of course you have nothing else to be proud of or are trying to convince yourself there is something inherently noble about Hispanics (there isn't).
