Help us Launch New Projects

We currently have dozens of life-changing volunteer projects that are on hold. What do we need to get them off the ground? More Team Leaders. Sign up to attend an information session about becoming a Team Leader, or read the FAQs.

Team Leaders are the secret to our success. These volunteers manage our corps of volunteers in the field and work behind the scenes with our staff and community partners. They are the reason we can reach 400,000 New Yorkers in need each year.

The Team Leader application process involves four simple steps:

1. Participate in three New York Cares projects
2. Complete a short application
3. Schedule an interview with New York Cares staff
4. Review an online presentation and attend a two-hour Team Leader training session

Simply fill out the application to start leading the way to a better New York City.
