New York Cares

Meets pressing community needs by mobilizing caring New Yorkers in volunteer service.

Projects that need leaders

As a Team Leader, with your dedication and training, you play a central role in expanding programming at our partner agencies, providing additional volunteer opportunities, and serving more New Yorkers in need. Quite simply, New York Cares couldn't grow without you.

Below are volunteer projects that are set to begin, but need a Team Leader to take the helm. By signing up, you are expressing interest in leading that project and a member of our Leadership team will be in touch shortly.

For assistance in selecting the perfect project for you, email info@newyorkcares.org. We're always glad to help.
