Fox Networks Group @ CMP

THANK YOU, @Fox Networks Group volunteers, for contributing your time and effort to help our students with English skills practice, resume improvements, elevator pitches, interview tips, networking opportunities and other career advice yesterday, Dec. 18th!

For many of our students, this might have been the very first time they were exposed to American workplace culture. Such a fruitful day!🎉🎉

Free ESL Class

We know how hard it is to start a new life in a new country with different culture, especially with the language barrier. Learning English might be the very first step a new immigrant will take when they're ready to start a new life in the U.S. If you need to learn and improve English skills, come join our FREE ALP (Adult Literacy Program)/ESL class. 

Class Date:

  • 12/10/18 - 3/14/19 (Monday - Thursday)

                    Morning Class: 9 am - 11: 30 am OR  

                    Afternoon Class: 1 pm - 3:30 pm                

For registration or more information, please see the program flyer here, or contact us at 212-571-1690, ext. 200 or 213.

    Imagine the impact you can bring !

Here’s Yu Lin’s story: it offers a window into how difficult it can be for a new immigrant to develop the strength to obtain economic self-sufficiency in this new land; and how CMP helps him through it.

Yu Lin

Yu Lin

When Yu Lin arrived at CMP in 2011, he’s been in the U.S. for only a week. Amidst being a new immigrant facing loneliness, helplessness, and fears, in 2011 Yu attended the Out-of-School-Youth (OSY) Program at CMP where he received training in job readiness, English writing and reading, math, and computer skills.  CMP encouraged and assisted him to prepare for college admission. Equally important was that he got to know many good friends and started to build his social and support network here.

In 2012, CMP helped Yu successfully enroll in college and helped him get his first summer job.  In 2016 he graduated from Baruch College with an accounting degree and passed all CPA tests in 2017. He is currently working at Oppenheimer & Co. as a Staff Auditor.

At the same time he is also a Master’s candidate at Baruch College. Upon his graduation in 2019, he will be able to obtain his CPA license and become a Certified Public Accountant.

“CMP really has helped me to become a contributing member of this society. As a new immigrant, I used to live under the roof of my relatives and depended on them financially. While I have been grateful for their help, I am now so proud to have become economically self-sufficient. For new immigrants, there is nothing more important than helping them to make a living and feel self-worthy. I am forever grateful to you, CMP!”
— Yu Lin
