Directory of Volunteer Sites in NYC


Borough of Manhattan Community College is pleased to present a Directory of Community Services. This is created to provide our student body with opportunities to provide community service in their respective and other communities.

This resource tool is listed alphabetically, and the web links to some of these organizations are also provided. Included in the list are organizations that cater to the needs of all ages, genders, causes, religious affiliations, sexual orientation, to name a few. The college, through some of its offices, also provides opportunities for students to perform volunteer work.

Volunteering is a worthwhile, rewarding and gratifying experience. The sharing of your time, talent and other abilities for the benefit of others who are less fortunate, can reap rich dividends for all parties concerned. As a volunteer, you may gain technical, vocational and or professional experiences. Through this medium, you may even be successful at obtaining employment.

Also, by adding a diverse background of volunteer services to your credit, in conjunction with your scholastic achievements, your opportunities for receiving scholarships are greatly enhanced. Scholarship experts have said that, "scholarship committees want to give money to students who give back to their communities."

American Museum of Natural History
Learn More

The Education Department of  the American Museum of Natural History is looking for individuals who are flexible, motivated, and enthusiastic about teaching students and working with school groups. Being an Education Teaching Volunteer is a positive way to engage students through hands-on learning, immersive experiences, and making connections to the real world.

There are many opportunities for teaching volunteers at the Museum. Some work with groups in specific halls doing Guided Field Trip Explorations, they staff carts with artifacts, specimens, and other touchable objects related to the hall's themes, answer questions and provide resources at the Help Desks, help groups find their destinations and daily administrative support.

Teaching Volunteers do not work from scripts, we encourage them to combine their life experiences with training they receive at the Museum in science and social sciences, anthropology, and museum informal education. Teaching Volunteers collaborate, work in teams, and mentor one another. Minimum volunteer requirement is four hours per week (but more is always appreciated)!

If you are ambitious and ready to use your experiences and creativity to impact hundreds of teachers and students visiting the Museum, you are ready to be an Education Teaching Volunteer.

Previous teaching experience is not required we will train you, however, retired teachers or other volunteer experience helpful. For more information, contact us today.
