There are many ways to assist

 

Activity & Workshop Instructors

If you have special expertise such as teaching yoga, dance instruction and English as a Second
Language, we have many programs throughout Brooklyn and Queens that would welcome your skills.

Community Events

Individual and Group Volunteers are often needed throughout the year at our community events, such as Kids Fun Day, Turkey Drive Distribution Days, and Toy Drives to help set up, clean up, and help throughout the day.

Kitchen and/or Clerical Help

Help serve lunch, answer phones, stuff envelopes, and/or assist with various activities at a various senior centers or other programs in Brooklyn or Queens.

Food Pantry

At over 20 parish based food pantries, Catholic Charities is often seeking volunteers to pack food pantry bags for those in need, re-stock pantry shelves. Strong volunteers are often needed to help lift 35-50 lb.

Gardening & Painting

This “group only” activity is great for schools and companies who want to organize a “Day of Service” for their team. We have many programs that are in need of beautification of their gardens or touch-ups of their community spaces; these activities need to be scheduled in advance with the volunteer coordinated.

Next Generation Committee

The Next Generation Committee is a group of like-minded individuals who share a belief in the mission of Catholic Charities Brooklyn and Queens. This group, formed through the Board of Trustees, aims to introduce interested professionals to the impactful work of the agency. Through engaging social gatherings, meaningful volunteer opportunities, inspiring faith-based events, and the chance to provide philanthropic support, this committee offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to cultivate the next generation of leaders committed to serving the thousands in need in our community.
