July Dare to Care sessions
Dare to Care is a one-hour session that provides a detailed
insight into the challenges facing disadvantaged New Yorkers, and New
York Cares' unique approach to addressing these challenges. Attendees will hear
stories about the people New York Cares has helped, meet our visionary leaders and staff and share their thoughts and ideas with them. While Dare to Care is not a volunteer orientation, this is a great opportunity to learn more about our work and the many ways you can help us address the needs of our city.
If you would like to attend, please R.S.V.P. to Ryan Walls at
ryan_walls@nycares.org or 212-402-1123.
Thursday, July 9, 12:00 p.m.
