Volunteer opportunities?

Submitted by 90DayFianceCraze t3_zw2e3f in jerseycity

Hi. I moved here about a year ago and would really like to know more about some local volunteer opportunities in the area. I have t really found anything but I would love something with kids or helping women. If you volunteer locally i would love to know more about it so I can join. Thank you.

Hi! I'm not the OP but also interested in volunteer opps - I went to the YSP website and couldn't find a specific page or section on volunteering (most links directed me to various donation or gifting pages). I'm not sure if you'd know or currently work/volunteer there, but would we need to call in to ask specifically about volunteering?

I used to volunteer there for a few years but Covid kind of put a pause on volunteering for the shelter. I’m pretty sure things are up and running now but I’d make sure to call ahead and ask what times/days they need volunteers for!

I usually spent time stocking/organizing the pantry or assisting with their clothing boutique! You decide how much time you want to put in and I don’t think they’re open on weekends :)

Thank you for the additional info! I've passed by their location several times and they seem like a great organization. Will give them a call tomorrow to see if they're accepting in-person volunteers!

u/edwinblanco201 recently posted about the library you may want to call the library or reach out to him to see if there is anything relevant to your interests

Starting in the spring time, you can volunteer Saturday morning doing garden work at Liberty State Park. Just follow them on FB. You can also reach out to them for opportunities, I think the woman’s name is Maria.
