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 150 Family Friendly volunteer projects throughout the year, we also work with 38 New York City public schools to introduce hundreds of students to service through our award winning Youth Service clubs.
