It’s at the very core of what makes us human. Doing things for other people makes us happy, and there is no feeling like being part of success greater than ourselves. A close, strong community depends on New Yorkers doing things for one another – no one goes through life in this city without someone else’s help. When you volunteer with Grand St. Settlement, what you do for one person you do for thousands; making a difference in a chain reaction.

Make a tremendous change where it counts the most – right here at home.
