Vision

Mission Statement
To provide collaborative community services to individuals and families to achieve their fullest potential through support, education, and empowerment.
Who we are
New Way Empowerment Center was established in January 2020 after the untimely passing of Kobe and Gianna Bryant. This tragedy inspired three young women to come together to work towards a vision which was bigger than themselves. Individually they were working towards separate goals but collectively they knew they could accomplish more together. Through their personal and professional experience they identified a need for a supportive network within their community. After the first meeting the flame was ignited in them to make their vision a reality by developing an empowerment center to uplift and strengthen the Las Vegas community.
