Join the Community Service team!
The President asked and MYD answered his call to service in our communities. Whether it was volunteering with the City Harvest Mobile Market in Washington Heights, New Yorkers for Safe Transit in East Harlem, New York Cares Spring Day, Sanctuary for Families, Hurricane Sandy Rockaways cleanup trips or the Yorkville Common Pantry, MYD members made a huge impact last year, getting out into the community and helping their neighbors on a range of issues and good causes. Building on that momentum, we want to expand volunteer opportunities for our members.

Volunteering with New Yorkers for Safe Transit
Last weekend, MYD teamed up with New Yorkers for Safe Transit, a coalition of community-based organizations working to eliminate gender and discrimination based violence, including harassment and assault, on the New York City transit system. In a service project co-sponsored by the Women’s Issues Committee and Transportation Committee, MYD volunteers hit the subway and bus stops in East Harlem to talk to riders and collect surveys on transit safety, personal experiences about harassment and assault and what should be done about it. The results from the surveys will help New Yorkers for Safe Transit analyze the types of harassment and violence in our transit system, raise awareness about the issues and improve advocacy efforts. The surveys are available until June 15th — … More >>
