What is

It’s time for the Second Annual College Challenge, and we’re shaking things up. Building on all of the inspirational service that our city’s students are doing, we’re happy to highlight our partners, all of whom are doing exciting and innovative things in the world of service and service-learning.

The College Challenge is a cohort of colleges and universities that is taking up the call of our city’s most pressing needs. We know that our college students are a resource that can effect great change in our city — NYC Service will serve as a direct line to programs and projects that can most address the city’s most pressing needs; the colleges and universities will serve as a direct line to thousands of civic-minded, selfless, and willing college students who are ready to spring into action.
