The Astoria Worker Project is a new initiative from the Consortium for Worker Education (CWE) to create a worker center to offer a range of social services to the residents of Astoria and Western Queens. The Astoria Worker Project will meld CWE’s proven workforce development programming with forward-thinking services that are responsive to New York City’s evolving economy. The center will offer workforce development resources and enhance workers’ rights, address mental health needs, support the creation of worker co-operatives, and provide programming to benefit Astoria’s immigrant communities.
