Partner Agreement Application

Thank you for your interest in partnering with We Speak NYC (WSNYC), a program developed and administered by the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA).

We Speak NYC (WSNYC) - (formerly We Are New York) is New York City’s FREE English language learning program that provides civic focused multimedia resources created to empower adult immigrants through learning and practicing everyday English. Our resources include an Emmy-Award winning educational drama series that informs learners about important New York City resources while offering a safe space for English language learners to practice their English conversation skills. The episodes address issues that most concern immigrants such as health care, democracy, education, immigration legal help, elder care, and managing finances.
