Leaders and Artists Needed!

On Saturday October 18, more than 8,000 volunteers will help paint a brighter future for New York City students by revitalizing more than 100 city schools during New York City's largest day of volunteer service. This event would not be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who step-up into leadership positions for this event. With your help, we will give thousands of children cleaner, safer and more stimulating environments in which to learn and grow. If you are ready to 'take the lead' or would like to leave a lasting impression at a deserving public school by designing and sketching a mural, we'd love to hear from you!

With over 100 projects taking place simultaneously throughout the 5 boroughs on New York Cares Day, Site Captains are critical to the success of this event. Working with the principal and/or key staff members at your assigned school, you will help plan for the projects that will take place at your site on New York Cares Day. Other responsibilities include ordering supplies, managing volunteer teams and solving minor problems. Don't worry, though, experienced New York Cares staff members will be there to guide you every step of the way.

While the vast majority of participants on New York Cares Day will be from pre-arranged teams, we always have hundreds of individuals who participate. We are looking for volunteers willing to manage a team of individual volunteers on New York Cares Day. Responsibilities will include communicating project information to the volunteers and ensuring your volunteers are happy and engaged on the day.

In order to paint a brighter future for our students, we need you! New York Cares is looking for artists to design and sketch murals for this event. Artists work with schools to develop a theme and design, then sketch it on a school wall so that volunteers can paint it on New York Cares Day. With your help, we will be able to provide vibrant and stimulating environments for thousands of children.

More than 8,000 people will volunteer on New York Cares Day. Making everyone feel welcome and getting them checked-in is therefore a very important task. Volunteer Greeters are needed at each site on New York Cares Day to help greet and register volunteers, collect donations and ensure that registration information and donations are safely returned to New York Cares following the event. With so many new volunteers, New York Cares Day also provides a perfect opportunity to recruit volunteers for our year-round calendar programs.
