Corporate Volunteering

GrowNYC periodically has opportunities for corporate employees to roll up their sleeves and help improve New York City's urban environment. Our staff will manage the logistics of your project and provide tools and supervision. Corporations have the opportunity to work in a community garden, plant trees alongside youth, or green large-scale street fairs and events by educating the community on recycling and coordinating waste reduction and recycling collection. Staff will educate volunteers about community gardens, habitats, and waste reduction and recycling. We ask participating companies to make a donation in order to defray project costs.

Contact Lindsay Robertson, Administrative Assistant, at lrobertson@GrowNYC.org to inquire about a corporate volunteer day.
