About National Conference of Puerto Rican Women New York Chapter

The New York Chapter of the National Conference of Puerto Rican Women (NACOPRW NY) represents a powerful sisterhood of Puerto Rican women rooted in Fresh Meadows, NY, with decades of service to the community. Established in 1973, this historical women's organization has served as a beacon of strength, offering tools, resources, and community support to help Puerto Rican women break barriers, elevate their voices, and inspire future generations.

At its heart, NACOPRW NY is built on the belief that when Puerto Rican and Latina women succeed, entire communities thrive. Led by women of Puerto Rican heritage from diverse backgrounds, the chapter creates an inclusive forum dedicated to empowerment, education, and advocacy for the full participation of Puerto Rican women both on the mainland and in Puerto Rico. The organization celebrates the rich heritage and resilience of Puerto Rican women while fostering genuine connections through mentorship, shared experiences, and collective action.

What distinguishes NACOPRW NY is its commitment to building lasting relationships within the Fresh Meadows and greater New York communities. Members and supporters find more than programs—they discover a powerful network where Puerto Rican women uplift one another, share their stories, and find strength in unity. Whether through scholarships for young women, advocacy for social justice, or cultural events honoring Puerto Rican traditions, NACOPRW NY remains steadfastly committed to ensuring that Puerto Rican women not only have a seat at the table but are leading the conversation.
