An Oral History Project Conducted by John Robert Lewis Scholar Camila Gomez
Project Description
In the diverse borough of Queens, nestled in Elmhurst, the New Life Community Development Corporation (NLCDC) was born from the New Life Fellowship Church's desire to empower their immigrant-rich community. Established in 1994, the NLCDC burgeoned from humble beginnings, offering an array of programs catering to various needs, regardless of economic or citizenship status. Rooted in love, cultural consciousness, and youth investment, it exemplifies effective grassroots activism. Originating from a small church, the NLCDC now embodies community engagement, from food pantries to youth empowerment initiatives, embodying a model of inclusive empowerment and transformation.
