ContraCovid NYC is an organization dedicated to helping marginalized individuals during the Pandemic and beyond. We are a group of students and professionals from across the country who are dedicated to ensuring marginalized individuals have the information needed to empower themselves and their families.
Help us support migrants from Venezuela and other surrounding countries that have been forced to relocate from their home countries and are being placed in shelters in New York and other cities.

Social Service Navigators Program
ContraCOVID NYC's Social Services Navigator Program helps to navigate clients through different resources to fulfill their needs. In particular, we focus on resources for housing, finances, employment, food, access to health care, education, transportation, among others. ContraCOVID members schedule phone calls to help non-English speakers translate and navigate online resources such as SNAP, WIC, and online documents.
Translation Services
ContraCOVID NYC's translation team offers English conversation services to Spanish speakers around NYC. Our goal is to make information more accessible to Latinx communities and empower individuals to feel comfortable navigating everyday life in English.
