New York Cares

About New York Cares

Since 1987, we've been the one-stop shop for caring New Yorkers ready to serve their city. As NYC's largest volunteer organization, we connect thousands of volunteers, donors, and corporate teams with hands-on ways to make an impact—distributing winter coats, tutoring students, revitalizing parks, and much more. Working closely with 400+ nonprofits, schools, and city agencies, we co-design programs built around what communities actually need—then deliver them through our team-based volunteer model. That adds up to mobilizing more than 70,000 volunteers across all five boroughs every year. New York Cares is where you can choose the cause and be the effect.
