Our Mission
New York Cares meets pressing community needs by mobilizing caring
New Yorkers in volunteer service.
Our Values
New York Cares is dedicated to promoting volunteerism and
community service as an essential aspect of life in New York City.
We believe that there are many ways to make valuable contributions
in people’s lives, and we create innovative, high-impact ways
of accomplishing this.
We work primarily with agencies that would not be able to take
advantage of the services of volunteers without our help.
Appreciating how busy New Yorkers are, we strive to make
volunteering as accessible and rewarding as possible and provide a
wide range of options to suit diverse interests, experiences, and
schedule.
We are committed to a high quality experience for all who choose to
work with us.
Through our projects, our events, and our teams of volunteers, we
build community and make New York City a better place to live and
work.
We are an inclusive organization and are committed to having a
board, staff, volunteers, and partner agencies that reflect the
diversity of the city we serve.
Our most important resource is our staff. We hire excellent people
and actively promote their professional development.
New York Cares values our long-standing relationships with our
corporate, government, and nonprofit partners. At the same time,
we know that the pace of change is rapid, and we stand ready to
meet emerging needs.
