We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• Riverside's mission is to help new immigrants successfully integrate into life in the U.S. by rapidly improving their English language skills, providing wrap-around case management and counselling, and offering workforce development, digital literacy, and community and civic engagement training. These supports and skills ensure that Riverside program participants are best positioned to achieve economic mobility and social inclusion. Our unique integration model serves as a 'one-stop-shop' that helps new immigrants access these services directly or through coordinated referrals. The model focuses on four strategic pathways that leverage immigrants' human capital and unlock access to economic mobility, social inclusion, and civic engagement: 1. English Language Instruction: Free, full-time intensive English language classes that provide participants with 150 hours of English language instruction in each six-week cycle. Classes are taught by experienced instructors with master's degrees. 2. Workforce Development and Digital Literacy Instruction: Training on job readiness, the American workforce and norms, industry-specific terms, resume and cover letter writing, and soft skills such as etiquette, communication, listening, and interpersonal skills. Riverside also offers training on computer programs and online platforms and their applicability in classroom and workplace settings. 3. Personalized Integration Planning and Access to Social Services through Case Management/Counselling: Working with case management/counselling staff, participants will develop a personalized roadmap to achieve social, economic, and civic engagement goals. They will also receive direct services and referrals for early resettlement needs such as housing, legal aid, health insurance, and childcare. 4. Community and Civic Engagement: Training and resources that promote and build the capacity of program participants to actively engage in civic life as individuals and community members. Training can include a range of topics such as know-your-rights, financial literacy, and becoming a citizen, accessing resources such as the IDNYC and library cards. Our centralized model also serves to build community and establish a network among distinct immigrant communities in all five boroughs of New York City. FY2025 Accomplishments: During fiscal year 2025, Riverside Immigrant Services & Empowerment continued advancing its strategic vision of becoming a comprehensive immigrant integration center. The organization expanded its English language instruction, workforce development, digital literacy, legal access, and supportive services to help immigrant New Yorkers achieve economic mobility, self-sufficiency, and successful community integration. Riverside enrolled 398 new participants in its immersive English language program and filled 740 class seats across multiple proficiency levels. Participants achieved strong educational outcomes, with 85% demonstrating measurable educational gains, substantially exceeding state benchmarks. Riverside also launched participant reading groups to provide additional opportunities for English practice, confidence-building, and community connection. Digital literacy remained an essential part of Riverside's model. All participants completed five weeks of digital literacy instruction, gaining practical technology skills needed for employment, education, and daily life. Workforce development was a major area of growth in FY2025. Riverside created and hired a new Workforce Development Manager position to build a more robust workforce program, strengthen employer partnerships, expand career coaching, and connect participants to employment and sector-based training opportunities. During the year, 150 participants completed workforce development training, 45% secured employment or enrolled in sector-based training programs, one in five obtained employment within five weeks of enrollment, and 25% pursued specialized career training. In response to changing federal immigration policies, Riverside expanded legal education and access to trusted legal services. The organization hosted a town hall meeting for participants, volunteers, funders, partners, and other stakeholders, drawing more than 140 attendees to discuss the impact of new immigration policies on immigrant communities. Riverside also partnered with Mobilization for Justice to launch one-on-one legal clinics for participants and held three Know Your Rights trainings. Riverside also continued providing holistic support services that remove barriers to learning and employment. During FY2025, the organization distributed more than 900 meals, provided approximately 120 weekly MetroCards, connected more than 50 individuals to ongoing mental health care, and hosted two clothing drives and a Mental Health Fair in partnership with RaisingHealth. To further strengthen instructional quality, Riverside established a Lead Instructor position to support curriculum coordination, faculty mentoring, and consistent program delivery across its English language program. Together, these accomplishments reflect Riverside's continued progress toward becoming a comprehensive immigrant integration center that combines English language learning, workforce development, legal information, and supportive services to help immigrant New Yorkers build stable and connected lives.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
