Do you lead a community group dedicated to parks? Looking to increase visibility and attract new volunteers? Add your group to NYC Parks’ volunteer group directory! Being listed in the NYC Parks’ volunteer directory shows that you are an active partner with NYC Parks which can help your group leverage more resources and advocate more effectively for your park and community. You will also become part of an online citywide map of NYC Parks' community partners!
The volunteer directory is part of the Vital Parks for All initiative, NYC Parks’ plan to protect existing park facilities, equitably deliver new resources to underserved communities, and equip New Yorkers with information to enjoy, celebrate, and support our parks!
