What do we do?

Awareness Raising
​& Public Policy

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Diaspora Committee of New York Inc. exists to build meaningful linkages between the Diaspora and the relevant institutions and people in SVG and the USA, and to focus on strengthening the policy-making processes in SVG and the USA as they relate to policies directly and indirectly affecting Vincentians living in the USA and in SVG.

Institution Building
​

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Diaspora Committee of New York Inc. seeks to build institutions in the Vincentian Diaspora that foster greater participation, cooperation and capacity building across broad sectors including the business, sports, and cultural sectors. We also actively promote the need for a Vincentian owned and operated Community Center.

The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Diaspora Committee of New York Inc. lends a helping hand to individuals and organisations who are in distress or whose goals are in alignment with our organisations mission and goals. We have supported disaster relief efforts, domestic violence advocacy, sports, culture, and families facing difficulties with the passing of loved ones.
