Get Involved
Manhattan is not just a collection of neighborhoods; it’s a vibrant community, bound together by our shared experiences and our commitment to the greater good of our borough.
Be it neighbors coming together to help clean up a local garden or a teenager applying to a Community Board, the solid core of our borough’s success lies in the absolutely amazing commitment to volunteerism shown by its residents.
Here at the Manhattan Borough President’s Office, we have seen the power of volunteering first hand. But we are only just getting started – and that’s where you come in. We are asking you to join the MBPO’s Manhattan Volunteer Corps!
Our Focus
Community Engagement
Volunteers will have the opportunity to attend public-facing community events, where we will chat with neighbors and connect with constituents throughout the borough.
Equity
Our volunteers work to make sure all Manhattanites have access to the wide range of resources the island offers. We participate in food drives, turkey giveaways, and other events meant to bring those resources directly to constituents.
Civic Understanding
Volunteer Corps members walk away with a deeper understanding of government, the functions of the MBPO Office, and how to enact change in their community.
Dedication
Volunteer Corps members develop a life-long appreciation for community volunteerism and continue to advocate for their communities when at home.
