New Hour For Women and Children
New Hour For Women and Children is a non-profit based out of Brentwood, New York. New Hour aims to address the impacts of incarceration on women, children, and families through direct services, aid, and advocacy. New Hour works within correctional facilities to provide women who are currently incarcerated with the life skills they need to thrive on the outside. Our Emerge leadership programs, open to women impacted by incarceration, work on life and leadership skills, job training, and financial wellness. Through our programs, we provide women with transportation, sanitary supplies, job interview clothing, and much more to help them succeed. If you've been impacted by incarceration, we're here to help- because this is your New Hour.
