BoardServeNYC Report of Activities and Accomplishments July 2010 – June 2011
PROUD PARTNER LEAD CORPORATE SPONSOR BoardServeNYC BoardServeNYC is a United Way of New York City initiative launched in response to “NYC Service–A Blueprint to Increase Civic Engagement,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s plan to increase volunteerism and support nonprofits within New York City.
BoardServeNYC builds the capacity of nonprofits in New York City by connecting them to a pool of prospective board members. The candidates represent a cross- section of New Yorkers of varied skills and backgrounds, all of whom are interested in joining boards.
Training board member candidates in nonprofit governance and actively preparing nonprofits to recruit, engage, and utilize new board members are integral components of BoardServeNYC.
NYC Service In April 2009, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg launched NYC Service, setting a new standard for how cities can tap the power of their people to tackle their most pressing challenges.
NYC Service is comprised of 25 innovative initiatives that aim to achieve three overarching goals: • Making our city the easiest place in the world to volunteer • Targeting volunteers to address the city’s greatest needs • Promoting service as a core part of what it means to be a citizen of the greatest city in the world.
NYC Service meets the Mayor’s State of the City pledge for New York City to lead the way in answering President Obama’s nationwide call to service by using volunteerism to address the capacity gap at the local level. In addition to participation, a key focus of NYC Service is to heighten accountability within the field and to set a new standard for measuring the impact of volunteerism.

To further facilitate strengthening nonprofit boards.

We are proud to have fostering leadership skills that advance civic engagement. As prominently recognized this commitment in all BoardServeNYC- UWNYC prepares to embark on BoardServeNYC’s third year in related collateral and communications.

As highlighted in our previous annual report, this volume marks a significant accomplishment, given that one of BoardServeNYC’s main objectives is to raise the awareness among New Yorkers that nonprofit board membership, often perceived (if it is perceived at all) as a mysterious and exclusive domain, actually represents an accessible and viable service opportunity for a broad swath of individuals.
BoardServeNYC has proven successful in attracting and engaging qualified New Yorkers to serve the nonprofit community and in producing a steady stream of qualified placements. Since July 1, 2010, it has trained 383 volunteers
