Laborers Action Group (Ginarte Community Center) is a nonprofit organization based in Queens, New York, that supports immigrant and low-wage worker communities through education, advocacy, and community engagement. While not a traditional hospitality organization, Ginarte Community Center plays an essential role in community-based tourism and cultural heritage experiences by offering programming rooted in immigrant stories, traditions, and local identities. It hosts events, workshops, and cultural activities that help preserve and share the diverse heritage of the neighborhood, contributing to the area’s appeal to culturally curious visitors.

Through partnerships with local groups and artists, the center promotes social tourism by welcoming residents and out-of-town guests to explore the vibrant culture of Queens through grassroots initiatives. It also serves as a hub for workers seeking fair labor treatment and encourages civic engagement. With a strong focus on community storytelling, immigrant advocacy, and cultural preservation, the group brings visibility to underrepresented voices and fosters inclusive tourism experiences that reflect the real-life histories of New York’s neighborhoods.
