We envision a city where New Yorkers are united by service and together, build a culture where New Yorkers uplift one another and take responsibility for the success of our city. 

 

Values & Beliefs

Participation: Lifelong civic engagement is a right, privilege, and responsibility of every New York City resident.

Diversity and Inclusion: All residents have value and lived experience central to finding solutions to community and city challenges.

Community: Volunteerism and service exist in many forms across NYC and each are assets woven into the city's democracy.

Collaboration: The present and future of our City depends on residents working together across communities and sectors.

 

NYC Service, a division of the Office of the Mayor focused on volunteerism and service in NYC. Launched in April 2009 in response to President Barack Obama's national call for volunteerism and a goal of engaging 100 million Americans in service by 2020. New York City was the first “City of Service” and since NYC Service launched, over 200 U.S. cities have joined the Cities of Service network.
