Volunteer Events
CPNYC's after-school program and Saturday Resource Center (SRC) provide volunteers with an opportunity to visit CPNYC and engage with CPNYC's staff and young people. Through the after school program, volunteers can support the program by tutoring elementary and middle school-aged students in a number of subject areas, including Math, Reading, and Science. The Saturday Resource Center (SRC) offers individuals and groups a chance to assist CPNYC youth with homework assignments and engage in interactive games. To learn more about these opportunities, visit our website here.
Corporate Volunteers
If you or your business is looking to become more involved in the organization, corporate social responsibility is paramount to CPNYC's volunteerism. Starbucks, The Brooklyn Nets, and MSCI are among the many philanthropic organizations that have supported CPNYC in the past. We invite businesses to support CPNYC through sponsorship, in-kind donations, and other forms of philanthropic support. To learn more, visit our website here.
Become a Mentor
CPNYC's mentors are the bedrock of the organization's volunteer base. Our mentors are role models for our youth. Potential mentors complete a thorough interview process before they are paired with a mentee. Every mentor commits 1 year and at least 4 hours per month to their mentee. To learn about a few of our current mentors and their mentees, visit our website here.
Join a Committee
Eager volunteers can seek membership for one of three committees: the Young Professionals Council (YPC), Women's Philanthropy Group (WPG), and CPNYC's Executive Board/ Board of Directors. Each committee is responsible for planning an array of fundraising and social events to raise funds for the organization, advocate for CPNYC's mission, and recruit new committee members and potential donors.
