Garden of Hope at Gethsemane

What Garden of Hope at Gethsemane does

Garden of Hope at Gethsemane is a New York State-incorporated nonprofit organization founded in 2004 and headquartered in Flushing, Queens, providing trauma recovery, counseling, advocacy, legal services, transitional housing, and community empowerment programs to Chinese-speaking immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, child abuse, elder abuse, anti-Asian violence, and bullying in the greater New York City area. All services are delivered free of charge and confidentially in Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, and Fujianese, addressing the language and cultural barriers that prevent the target population from accessing mainstream social services. The organization operates from multiple physical locations across Queens (Flushing headquarters, Queens Family Justice Center, Queens Community Center), Brooklyn (Brooklyn Family Justice Center), and Manhattan (Manhattan Chinatown Office), supplemented by a 24/7 multilingual helpline, temporary safe housing (Hope House), and on-site clinical and legal staff embedded within NYC's Family Justice Centers and Human Trafficking Intervention Courts. Its programmatic portfolio spans approximately 15 distinct service lines, organized under two pillars: Intervention and Healing Services (the seven core violence-recovery programs) and Education and Empowerment Programs (Counseling Center, Youth Empowerment, Women Empowerment, Parenting Support, and Community Outreach). Last reported annual operational volumes include 13,472 counseling sessions, 27,085 helpline/chatline calls, 4,429 legal assistance encounters, 2,590 housing/shelter interventions, and over 27,000 community members reached through outreach and education; the client geographic mix is concentrated in Queens (59%), Brooklyn (23%), and Manhattan (4%), with Long Island (5%) and greater NY/other states (9%) representing the remainder. The organization employs between 11 and 50 staff and is governed by a board and advisory committee drawing on expertise from criminal justice, law, social work, mental health, business, philanthropy, and the Asian-American community; notable board members include UnitedHealthcare National Vice President of Asian Initiatives Christopher K. Law and Wong & Co. CPA Managing Partner Tony C. Wong. Garden of Hope funds its operations through donations, an annual gala (the 22nd iteration scheduled for September 25, 2026 with a $750,000 goal), volunteer engagement, and presumed grant funding from government agencies and foundations; no revenue is publicly disclosed and no parent, private equity, or venture capital ownership has been identified. The organization's social-services nature means there is no underlying technology product or proprietary platform; service delivery is delivered by human staff and clinicians rather than software.
