With the rain pouring down on New York City today there isn’t much to spy outside besides the ever growing puddles. So, instead, I went online and stumbled upon the site New York Cares. The organization promotes volunteer opportunities throughout the city in a host of different arenas and concentrations.
New York Cares helped over 43,000 people volunteer with non-profits, schools and other organizations last year alone. Today, they are working on achieving Mayor Bloomberg’s civic initiative of 50,000 for New York — getting over 50 thousand people to volunteer in the city in the coming year. That’s an increase of 15% over last year! They need your help.
