New York Cares is committed to developing the next generation of volunteers and offers several ways for young people to give back to their communities. In addition to offering over a hundred Family Friendly volunteer projects throughout the year, we also work with 24 New York City public schools to introduce hundreds of students to service through our award winning Youth Service clubs.
