Meet the team
We are New York Cares
In 1987, a group of friends who wanted to volunteer found themselves frustrated by the fractured nonprofit landscape, making opportunities hard to find. They needed a centralized way to organize efforts and access communities.
And New York Cares was born.
Our team consists of dedicated professionals who guide strategy and execution for our core mission.
Representing the five boroughs (and occasionally, New Jersey) our team is united by the belief that you earn your NYC stripes not by how many years you’ve been here, but by how connected you are to your community.
Diversity isn’t a box you check. It informs the effort itself.
At New York Cares, we see and celebrate diversity in all its forms. Representation reflects the community—and yields a far more positive impact for teams and neighborhoods. We gather ideas and insights from a wide range of individuals and partners with different backgrounds and perspectives to find the best solutions for pressing community needs.
