About Us The core mission of Volunteer New York! is to inspire, mobilize, and equip individuals and groups to take positive action to address pressing challenges, support nonprofits, and improve the quality of life in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam.

We encourage adults to serve, youth to build character, families to bond, young professionals to lead, mature adults to share their wisdom, and businesses to engage through volunteerism.

Founded by volunteers in 1950, in just the last year Volunteer New York! inspired over 35,000 volunteers to take action and mobilized 399,000 hours of service, creating an impact of $12.7 million in value for our community.

These are the values and beliefs that guide our work every day: • •

WE VALUE VOLUNTEERISM WE VALUE COMMUNITY

• • •

WE BELIEVE EVERYONE CAN SERVE WE BELIEVE VOLUNTEERING IS TRANSFORMATIONAL WE BELIEVE RELATIONSHIPS MATTER

Now that you've gotten to learn a bit more about us, we hope that we'll get the chance to learn more about your interests and connect at some point along your volunteer journey! While there are hundreds of ways to volunteer every year, it only takes one person at the right place and at the right time to change the world!

Jeanette Gisbert, Executive Director Volunteer New York!

Volunteering is Transformational The backbone of a strong, resilient community is its volunteers.

Volunteers help many local nonprofits achieve their missions and increase the quality of life for all. Volunteers are the gears needed to keep our community strong.

A large team of one-time volunteers who come together for a day of service can help make a nonprofit’s seemingly impossible project, suddenly possible.

And a single ongoing volunteer dedicated to one nonprofit can expand that nonprofit’s capacity to create a larger, sustainable impact over time.

From saving lives, holding a stranger’s hand, delivering meals and serving on boards, volunteers help fill important gaps.

Volunteering is one of the best ways to network, meet likeminded people, and to find common ground with others in your community.

Volunteering is an opportunity to learn new skills or gain experience in a field that you’re interested in.

Volunteering feels good and can increase your sense of purpose in life. Acting generously is known to trigger your brain to release chemicals that can help lower stress and improve mood. http s : / w w. s cientif i camerican. c om/ p o dcast/ e p i sode/ g e nerosity - mig h t-keep - us-healthy -10-10-26/

Volunteers over age 55 who volunteer 100 hours a year are known to live longer and go to the hospital less often than those who do not volunteer. http s : / w w. p r b . o rg / v o lunteering - and-ag i ng - 2/ http s : / w w. n cb i . n lm. n ih. g o v / p u b m ed/ 18198690
