Our ModelFounded in 1987 by a group of friends who wanted to take action against social issues facing the city, New York Cares provides vital volunteer support to nonprofits, city agencies and public schools — our Community Partners. Each volunteer team we deploy is led by a volunteer Team Leader, who ensures the quality of our projects and extends the reach of our staff. As a result, we place books in the hands of more children, revitalize more parks and gardens and secure more tax refunds for low-income New Yorkers.

By allowing our Community Partners to outsource volunteer management to New York Cares, we bridge the gap between a partner’s need and its lack of resources — helping to fulfill its program goals and meet the city’s critical needs.

Our Value Every dollar donated to New York Cares is worth six times that value in community service through the power of our volunteers.

New York Cares meets pressing community needs by mobilizing caring New Yorkers in volunteer service.

Your home. Your city. Your world. Make a difference in the neighborhoods, communities and city where your employees and their families live and work.

With almost 25 years of experience, New York Cares’ Corporate Relations team works hand-in-hand with each of our corporate sponsors to create and grow comprehensive and highly successful employee engagement programs.

Explore the many volunteer opportunities we have to offer:

Our Corporate Sponsorship Program

Customized Employee Engagement – Work with New York Cares’ staff to develop, plan and implement a service program tailored to the needs and priorities of your company. Volunteer opportunities can occur once or multiple times; can be large- or small-scale; and can target any of our core program areas, including children’s education and recreation, adult career preparation, health and wellness and community revitalization.

Citywide Service Events – Spend the day making a difference in your city by forming a team of your colleagues and volunteering alongside thousands of other corporate, civic and youth participants at one of our large-scale, annual service events, including New York Cares Day Spring and New York Cares Day Fall.

Holiday Programs – Brighten the lives of children in need by purchasing gifts or reading some of the thousands of holiday requests submitted as part of our annual Winter Wishes program. You can also give the gift of warmth to cold New Yorkers by collecting or sorting coats during our seasonal Coat Drive.

Year-Round Volunteering – Empower your employees to volunteer on their own time at one of New York Cares’ 1,200 monthly projects by hosting orientations at your office.

Customized Employee Engagement

CONTACT New York Cares’ Corporate Relations team, and select the size, type, location (on- or off-site) and timing of your project. Your project can target a wide range of issue areas, and our team is trained to advise you on which type of project best meets your company’s particular interests and needs.

COLLABORATE with New York Cares as we plan a project to match your company’s requirements. In just eight weeks, our staff will conduct site visits to the receiving Community Partner; create curricula and project schedules; order supplies; organize lunch and transportation (all billed separately, if applicable); and train your company’s Team Leader on his or her role in the process.

CONTRIBUTE to the community on your day of service. New York Cares staff will be on site to ensure your project runs smoothly and your corporate Team Leader and team of volunteers understands the tasks and the impact of the day.

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES New York Cares also provides a range of volunteer opportunities related to Martin Luther King Day of Service, National Volunteer Week and September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Every winter, thousands of New Yorkers have to choose between putting food on the table or buying a winter coat. Help keep New Yorkers warm by collecting or sorting coats for recent immigrants, seniors and homeless men, women and children.

New York Cares’ annual citywide programs are tailor-made for corporate participation and bring New Yorkers together to provide services that enhance the quality of life in all five boroughs. The result: the city grows stronger and your employees grow together through team-based programming.

New York Cares’ volunteers give our students their time and energy, expecting nothing in return. They greatly expand our students opportunities to grow by exposing them to new experiences and enhancing their imagination. With every project a corporate volunteer works with us on, another student is inspired and empowered to succeed.
