New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE) is a community-based, non-profit organization that works to ensure that new immigrants can build social, political and economic power in their communities and beyond. Based in Jackson Heights, Queens NICE works primarily with low-wage recent immigrants who are day laborers, domestic workers and restaurant/deli workers. As recent immigrants, many of NICE's community members lack information regarding their rights as immigrants and workers, as well as their right to access basic services, such as health care, education, and financial services. NICE addresses issues faced by its community members through a variety of strategies, such as direct services – including rights-based English literacy classes, social work services, and assistance with non-payment of wages - and though community-building, grassroots organizing and grassroots advocacy.
