In just one year of being in the Brighton Beach area, the school has become an active participant in events that vividly represent Ukrainian culture. A Ukrainian community is forming around the school. From the first days of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the school became a volunteer center for humanitarian and medical aid for Ukraine. American mass media made their reports and interviews from school when they wanted to hear from Ukrainians about the war started by Moscow against Ukraine.

On the 31st anniversary of the Independence Day of Ukraine, a street sign was installed at the intersection of Brighton Ave and Coney Island Ave - the Ukrainian Way (Ukrainian Way), the students of the "New Wave" Ukrainian school with flags and pennants in their hands performed the national anthem of Ukraine there, and drew great attention to this event with such efficient participation.
