Astoria Park Alliance volunteer days - July!

The Astoria Park Alliance is proud to support:

Astoria Park Alliance 

Volunteer Days!

APA Volunteer Days are an expansion of our already great partnership with NY Cares and in response to the large amount of requests we get from the public to volunteer in Astoria Park. Volunteer opportunities average twice a month, March through November. 
Thank you for wanting to make a difference!

Last week was full of celebration and fireworks! Thank you to ALL who visited the park, and thank you to Central Astoria for hosting a wonderful fireworks display on Monday, June 30th. A special shout out to our friends at the Parks Dept, Vinnie, Pedro, and Paul, who helped clean up the park post-celebration.
