2017 Annual Report
Taking Service to New Heights
Dear Friends,New York Cares is in the business of planting seeds that take root and grow into a better tomorrow for those we serve. In 2017, our roots in the community grew even deeper. Through our sustainable volunteer programs, 65,000 volunteers met the needs of nearly 550,000 New Yorkers last year – improving education, meeting immediate needs, and revitalizing our city’s public spaces.Thirty-five of our volunteers were inducted as High Risers, a new recognition honoring volunteers who have completed a remarkable 1,000 volunteer projects
As New York Cares has grown in both breadth and depth, so has the level of commitment from our volunteers. In 2017, we unveiled the wall of High Risers at an induction ceremony, commemorating the first group of volunteers to complete 1,000 New York Cares projects. As part of this new tradition, awardees are added to the wall in the entryway of our office and receive an invitation to the annual New York Cares Gala.
Making a Sustained Commitment
The children took turns walking up front with me to find the next clue in our quest to escape our corn maze scavenger hunt. One of the girls turned to me and said ‘Miss Linda, when I grow up, I want to volunteer and be a Team Leader just like you.’ In the bigger picture of just hanging out with kids and having fun, a seed can be planted without even realizing it’s happening!

New York Cares | 2017 Annual Report
Increasing ImpactImproving EducationMaking up over 40% of our work, New York Cares education programs help individuals of all ages learn and succeed on their own terms through one-on-one after-school homework help, recreational outings to museums and city landmarks, high-school equivalency exam preparation, mock interviews with job-seekers and more. As New Yorkers sought more opportunities to practice their civic duty in a post-election year, New York Cares received heightened interest on programs serving legal residents. We responded with growth in our citizenship programming, by tripling the number of citizenship clinics and serving 60% more individuals in 2017. College Access programs also saw a deeper investment as 10% more schools opted into our three-year, multi-program offerings for their students.
SAT Prep In our 20th year of offering NYC’s largest free SAT tutoring program, New York Cares volunteers helped students achieve an average increase of 195 points to their SAT score.

Meeting Immediate NeedsAbout half of all New York Cares programs bring support, companionship and financial stability to homeless or low-income New Yorkers by assisting adults in becoming financially secure, socializing with senior citizens, supporting individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, caring for animals in shelters, and ensuring vulnerable New Yorkers have a warm coat each winter. In 2017, we offered 20% more programs addressing hunger, saw an 18.7% increase in volunteers supporting special needs programs, and delivered 248,638 meals to New Yorkers in need.
Tax Prep In 2017, New York Cares volunteers helped return $17,078,987 to New Yorkers facing economic hardships.

Revitalizing Public SpacesFilling out the remaining 10% of our programs, New York Cares volunteers execute strategic projects that revitalize and beautify public schools, recreational facilities, and 30,000 acres of New York City parks, beaches, and community gardens. We work side by side with the NYC Parks Department and NYC Department of Education to give our city spaces the care and attention they deserve. In 2017, we ran 480 environmental projects, a 5.5% increase from the year prior, and mobilized 4,150 volunteers on projects that revive parks from harsh winters, keep beaches safe and clean for millions of residents, and apply fresh coats of paint to our concrete jungle.

Deepening PartnershipsThrough volunteer-powered programs, coat and holiday gift drives, and volunteer management trainings, New York Cares helps drive the missions of 1,275 nonprofits, schools, and city agencies throughout the five boroughs. Forty-five percent of Community Partners report that they have less than 25 full-time staff members employed and 57.2% operate with a budget of less than $1 million.
New York Cares has allowed us to have a culinary class, which
we wouldn’t be able to do without the volunteers and Team
Leader. We have been doing this for over 10 years now.
