NYC Non-Profits and Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering for a non-profit organization can be a great way to build up a resume. The work is rewarding, often requires no long-term time commitment and the hiring process is often not as competitive as it is in a for-profit company.

Non-profit work eventually pays for itself. After a few months or years of volunteer work, job applicants can truthfully say they „have experience.‟ To an employer, non-profit work also means that an applicant has a heart.

There is a non-profit organization out there for virtually every interest. Someone who likes art can volunteer at the local art museum. Someone who likes reading can volunteer at a library. Most cities have hundreds of non-profit groups, so it would be virtually impossible to research each one. New York is a city that contains not only its own local charitable organizations, but also the headquarters for many national groups. What follows is a list of charitable organizations in New York, divided into focus areas. Choose an area that looks particularly interesting, and research the non-profit groups within it.

Animals

Animal-focused non-profits are often no-kill animal shelters or breed-specific rescue societies. Some animal non- profits introduce pets to disadvantaged groups, such as low-income children, disabled persons or the elderly.
