Project New Yorker

Jamaica’s nonprofit scene has a quiet corner. Project New Yorker operates from the second floor of a narrow brick building at 169-18 Hillside Ave., Jamaica, NY 11432, steps from the elevated tracks that stitch the neighborhood together. The organization identifies as both Asian-owned and women-owned, a detail that shapes its outreach without fanfare.

Local initiatives often gain momentum from such foundations. Project New Yorker’s presence on Hillside Avenue reflects the area’s layered identity—where small businesses, transit hubs, and community groups coexist in close quarters. The address itself is easy to miss amid the storefronts, yet it serves as a steady point for those navigating resources in the borough.

For details or assistance, the number to call is (718) 737-2398. Directions can be found on the map listing here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c260ddc1e1f531:0x1308ff19c99873fc.
