The Dominico-American Society of Queens (DASQ) is a community-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1993 to improve the quality of life in the NYC community. As a proud affiliate member of UnidosUS and a member of the Hispanic Federation, DASQ has been involved in various community-based projects focusing on adult literacy and job training. The organization's mission is to provide essential services to low-income, immigrant communities, addressing the educational, social, and cultural challenges that hinder their development. With a comprehensive and multi-service approach, DASQ offers a range of programs, including adult literacy and job training, legal and immigration services, citizenship classes, youth development, and referrals. Each year, DASQ serves thousands of individuals and families, including recipients of public assistance, the unemployed and underemployed, dislocated workers, senior citizens, at-risk youth, and school drop-outs, as well as the physically disabled. By providing access to technology, addressing health issues, and promoting community empowerment, DASQ aims to create a positive impact on the lives of those it serves. With its headquarters in Queens, New York, DASQ has evolved over two decades to serve the needs of families throughout New York City, making it a vital resource for the community. As DASQ continues to grow and expand its services, it remains committed to its core values of improving the quality of life for its constituents and promoting a more equitable and just society. The organization's work is a testament to the power of community-based initiatives and the importance of addressing the unique needs of immigrant communities. By supporting DASQ's efforts, individuals can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and contribute to the creation of a more vibrant and inclusive community. With its strong foundation, dedicated team, and commitment to excellence, DASQ is poised to continue making a lasting impact in the years to come.
