Getting Started

Start giving back in your community and make a difference.

STEP 1: CREATE AN ONLINE ACCOUNT

Get started by setting up your own New York Cares account. You will be able to use
this account to register for volunteer opportunities, view your upcoming projects, and
evaluate ones that you've already done!

STEP 2: ATTEND ORIENTATION

You can then learn more at your New York Cares orientation. We run dozens of orientations
every month throughout the city. At orientation, you'll learn how we work and what you
can do as a volunteer.

STEP 3: SIGN UP FOR A PROJECT

After you've been to orientation, you can get started signing up for projects.
Search online and find the best project for you!

PLEASE NOTE: You must be at least 18 years old to participate in New York Cares year-round volunteering.


See July 01 for possible orientation in Astoria, Queens. More dates available throughout NYC.
