Our Work

Our Model

AnewAmerica has developed an innovative model, Assets for New Americans: Business Incubator, which integrates business incubation, asset-building and social responsibility. Entrepreneurs and their families receive a package of comprehensive services for three years to meet their cultural and linguistic needs. We link new Americans with:

• colleges and universities that offer business credentials
• financial institutions that provide access to credit
• successful, established "old American" entrepreneurs
