Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine - 🚨Helping you experience Manhattan🚨 Find out more about our free holiday giveaways, events, trainings and more...

 

The fall is a busy time at the Manhattan Borough President’s Office! We are excited to announce this season’s full slate of events, giveaways, and training sessions our office has organized to help Manhattanites in need during the holiday season and provide opportunities for community members seeking to expand their knowledge of our city governing process.   

Below, you will find a rundown of all these free opportunities, but this is just a snapshot of what we have going on throughout the year.  

We encourage you to regularly check out the Events Page on our newly revamped MBPO website. This is your one-stop source for all things Manhattan, including free entertainment, community events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, giveaways, and more. 

Also, do you work with a community nonprofit and have events you want to promote? Do you work for a local organization that organizes free concerts for your neighborhood? Or are you organizing community clean-ups and need volunteers? If so, we have designed our Events Page with you and our communities in mind! 

Post your event on the MBPO website HERE

Our office is taking submissions for appropriate community listings to help you and your organization promote your events and activities. Use this digital form on our Events Page to get your listing up on our site, and we will help you get the word out about your event!  We are here to help you take advantage of everything Manhattan has to offer, and we hope to see you at some of these exciting events this holiday season!

No New Yorker should go hungry during the holiday season. This month, the MBPO is teaming up with community partners, corporate sponsors, and local elected officials to bring much-needed food assistance, including groceries, hot meals, and Thanksgiving turkeys to Manhattanites.

Please visit our events calendar for more information on these scheduled giveaways, and stay tuned for additions to this list in the coming two weeks.

Of the People, By the People, For the People. New York City’s government is complicated, but once understood, it offers a broad range of assistance and opportunities to become more civically engaged. 

Next week is our office’s annual Community Leadership Training Series, offering virtual workshops on topics like understanding the City’s budget, combating implicit bias, and how to use open data. 

We designed the virtual Community Leadership Training Series to provide tools, instruction, and best practices to engage everyday New Yorkers in learning more about local government processes.
