Below are a few tips to help you find a project that's right for you:
Search Parameters - selecting too many criteria will limit your search results. Try your search using just one or two parameters.
Posting Dates - projects are posted on the 3rd week of every month for the subsequent 6 weeks. Try to sign up as close to the posting date as possible for your best chance of getting on the project of your choice.
Hot Projects - each Wednesday, New York Cares sends a Hot Projects email listing projects in the coming week that are still in need of volunteer assistance. To subscribe, log-in, click on "My Profile," and then check off "Hot Projects" under your Mailing Preferences. Alternatively, Hot Projects can be viewed at any time by logging in and clicking on "My Homepage."
Featured Projects - there is a selection of Featured Projects with available slots on our homepage. Featured Projects may include new projects, Program Manager's favorites, those in need of more volunteer support or projects related to a current issue.
Still having problems? - If you are still having problems finding or signing up for a project, please contact our Volunteer Relations Department at 212-228-5000 (Mon - Fri, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.).
