Welcome to the New York chapter of Young Ambassadors for Opportunity, a supporter of Opportunity International.

If you live in the New York area, we hope you’ll join our team of young professionals passionate about changing the world through microfinance.

Our mission is twofold: to raise awareness in the New York community about the life-changing power of microfinance, and to raise funds for Opportunity’s microfinance services in Tanzania. We have many future events planned, and we hope you’ll join us for them.
