Martha Carballo

Workplace Development Consultant, Community Resource Center, Regenerative Organizing Cohort Participant

Martha is from Puebla, Mexico. She came to the U.S. when she was 15 and came to the Community Resource Center (CRC) in 2001, when the center was formerly known as the Hispanic Resource Center.

Martha became more involved with the center to support the 2017 New York Green Light Driver’s License Campaign. After her positive experience with the Center, she became more involved with the organization and advocacy. CRC staff members quickly identified Martha’s leadership potential and invited her to join the Domestic Worker organizing movement. She actively participates and informs women about their rights in the workplace, fair wages, and empowerment.

Martha now works in the Workforce Development Department as a consultant, helping coordinate trainings such as OSHA 30, blueprints, Nanny Training, construction, and more.

She is also focusing on pursuing her dream to complete high school equivalency and to further her Spanish literacy through the Plazas Comunitarias program at the center. Martha’s dream is to open her own business in the near future.
