Volunteer With Us

As New York City begins to re-open after the COVID-19 virus, we are slowly re-opening our ReStore and A Brush With Kindness sites. Construction volunteer sites will remain closed for the remainder of the year. We are closely watching the response from local public health agencies, and will make additional adjustments accordingly.

We have volunteer opportunities from the construction site to the office suite. All you need is enthusiasm; we’ll teach you everything you need to know.

Questions? Be sure to check out our Volunteer FAQ page.

“People should get out there and volunteer!” Paul says, “There’s a lot of retired people out there… even if you volunteer one day a month; that would be phenomenal.”

“It’s such a good learning experience for both of us,” said Ayesha. “It allows us to spend time together and do something as a mom and daughter team, which is harder and harder these days.”
