Volunteer in Brooklyn Bridge Park

7 Jul
2011

This weekend you can enjoy the beautiful weather we will hopefully have, and volunteer at the same time! OneBrick will be organizing a group of volunteers on Saturday and Sunday in the amazing, newly renovated Brooklyn Bridge Park to help the Parks Department count visitors, which will in turn help them to have a better understanding of park usership and better plan seasonal programming. All you have to do is RSVP for a shift on OneBrick’s website and show up ready to count!

OneBrick is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) organization that creates short-term volunteer opportunities, with an emphasis on having fun and meeting new people while also remaining accessible to young professionals working the 9-5 grind.

You can view the different shifts and RSVP here for July 9th, here for shift 1 on July 10th, and here for shift 2 on the 10th. If you can’t make it this weekend, check out their calendar for more upcoming opportunities.

NYC Volunteer Opportunities Available!

2 Jun

God’s love We Deliver is an organization that prepares and delivers nutritious, high-quality meals (free of charge) to people who because of their illness, are unable to provide or prepare meals for themselves. I’ve written about them numerous times on G&G NYC and because they do such amazing work, I’m always on the ready to help wherever and whenever I can.

The following volunteer opportunities are currently available at God’s Love We Deliver; if you’re interested in filling one these spots, email Stephen at scovello@glwd.org.

Van Assistants (no driving required)

Days Available: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday

Time Commitment: 7:45am – 2:30pm (6 slots available for each day, first come, first serve)

Van assistants arrive at our Soho location and get paired up with one of our drivers for the day to help make meal deliveries to our clients. Depending on traffic and the delivery route, you will return back to God’s Love between 1pm and 4pm, so keep in mind that it can be an all-day shift.

Pack-Out – PERFECT VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE 9-5ers

Days Available: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday

Time Commitment: 6:30am-8:30am (3 slots available for each day, first come, first serve)

Every weekday morning from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. (yes that’s a.m.) volunteers package the components of our clients’ meals.

Email Stephen at scovello@glwd.org if you’re interested in any of the openings listed above!
