Over the past 21 years, WISE has implemented a number of community-based initiatives aimed at raising consciousness of immigrant issues, developing leadership capacities and promoting self sufficiency of immigrant and refugee women and girls. The founders of WISE envisioned a future where immigrant women and girls will be honored for their wisdom, leadership, and power to create change in their lives and their communities.Currently, WISE is conducting three major programs through partnership and collaboration with Asian, African, and Latino agencies in areas of academic success, leadership, health, and economic self-sufficiency, namely: Girls Getting Ahead in Leadership (GGAL), Foreign Trained Healthcare Professional (FTHCP) Program and the Women Economic Leadership (WELEAD) program.
