My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been working with Jessica at VolunteerNewYork.org for couple of months now. It has been a pleasure working with her via emails and phone calls. She is 'super' knowledgeable about the events and is a joy to talk with over the phone.

Unfortunately, so far I have participated in only ONE event...It was a ton of fun working at the Pumpkin Picking at Muscoot Farm. One tiny kid, maybe 1-1/2 years old, fell in a mud puddle and cried at first, but then he kept throwing himself in puddles, face down, over and over again. His joy and laughter was amazing to watch :). His parents laughed too and just went with the flow. A muddy kid is worth the priceless memories. A hot bath and warm dinner to complete a great day at the farm.

I have another event booked and I have many others in my sights. Possibly many more activities to enjoy in my, not to far down the road, retirement. Imagine being a Thanksgiving Day parade Balloon Holder? (I'm not a fan of the cold weather but I'm considering it in New Rochelle). Or, working at a record store at the 138 year old historic Tarrytown Music Hall.

The opportunities are boundless that run a large gamut of different types of events and programs. From one-time events to regular, long lasting opportunities.

Thank you Volunteer New York!
