If you want to do something special in the city, NYC Parks can match you with the right volunteer opportunity for you! Fulfill a service day by spending time outdoors and making new friends. From a neighborhood park to New York City's wildest natural areas, we work with hundreds of park partner groups across the city to find meaningful opportunities to give back to your park.

Looking for more volunteer opportunities? Check out our Let's Green NYC page! We'll match you with a volunteer group that you'll love, and find the group that's right for you!
