The Mayor's Volunteer Center of New York City (formerly known as the Mayor's Volunteer Action Center) bridges individuals, corporations, government agencies and non-profit organizations in order to connect people with meaningful volunteer opportunities that significantly improve the quality of life in New York City. Our mission is to make every New Yorker a volunteer.
Description:
As times have changed, so has the role of the Mayor's Volunteer Center (MVC) of New York City. Since September 11th, more New Yorkers have expressed a desire to help their city. While monies and funding for non-profit and city agencies have decreased, the number of people wanting to volunteer has increased. The Mayor's Volunteer Center finds itself in the unique position of bringing together individuals and corporations who want to help. New York needs the support of its people more than ever. Our mission is to make every New Yorker a volunteer.
How can we help you participate? The Mayor's Volunteer Center serves as a referral center for individuals who are interested in volunteer opportunities. We especially encourage people who wish to volunteer for city agencies to contact us. City agencies and non-profit agencies that can effectively engage volunteers should also contact MVC so that we may link you with interested individuals.
Above all else, MVC is a resource for the city. Our new website is intended to help facilitate links between government and non-profit agencies, corporations, and individuals as we engage everybody for New York. The impact of volunteer work has always had tremendously positive effects in the City of New York. The Mayor's Volunteer Center will help continue this proud tradition of New Yorkers volunteering to improve their city, their lives and the lives of the members of their communities.
History:
In 1967, The Mayor's Volunteer Center of New York City (formerly known as the Mayor's Voluntary Action Center) was created in order to provide leadership and assistance in mobilizing individuals and corporations to participate in volunteer activities throughout the City of New York.
