Volunteer

Join a team of 10,000 caring and committed New Yorkers.

Every child needs the support of parents, school and community to succeed. Our volunteers are able to make a real difference in children’s lives and connect with their communities. Parent volunteers also receive educational strategies to use at home with their own children.

Programs range from pre-K to 12th grade and volunteers serve in schools near their home or workplace. Visit our programs page to learn more about opportunities to serve in elementary, middle and high schools.

With our Core and Enrichment Programs, there are so many ways to give back to New York City's public school students, and they need YOUR help! Click here to learn more about Learning Leaders’ Core and Enrichment programs.
