Under the motto “Creating Paths to a Better Future!” the One Pathway, Inc. foundation launched on Tuesday, June 4, at the Chase Community Center in Harlem, located at 55 West 125th Street, and according to its founders, is designed to empower immigrants and take advantage of their experience and educational training to “fly higher.”

 

Jenniffer Firpo, CEO of JVsion Advertising, LLC and founder of the entity, One Pathway, said she is dedicated to helping immigrants transfer their college credits [to U.S. colleges], validate their degrees [from other non-U.S. institutions], and “expertly navigate the abundant resources available in this extraordinary country.”

 

Firpo added that the foundation will serve all boroughs and Long Island, and the goal is to expand to other states as well. She also said that NYC Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez was due to attend the launch but was unable in the end as he was traveling.

“Our goal is to enable them [immigrants] to advance their careers, unlock better job opportunities, establish thriving businesses, and ultimately achieve the American dream,” said Firpo.

 

She said her strategic partners, Jose Minaya, CEO of Nuveen, Quemuel Arroyo, CAO of MTA and NYU Trustee, Tamiris García Marcano, vice-consul of the Dominican consulate, among others, affirmed the goal of the new foundation and gave their unconditional support to it and its mission.

Firpo invited the public to support the foundation by donating here.
