New York Cares Annual Report 2006
New York Cares meets
pressing community needs
by mobilizing caring New Yorkers
in volunteer service.
The year 2006 was marked by extraordinary successes at New York Cares. We mobilizedthe greatest number of volunteers ever—33,000 individuals, who, by participating in ourprojects, were able to help a third of a million New Yorkers in need. We collected anddistributed more than 89,000 warm winter coats, another record. And our overallprogramming grew by more than 25%, a remarkable achievement. We are proud to share our accomplishments in the coming pages, as well as some stories about the difference our volunteers have made.
More than 1.5 million New Yorkers live in poverty; families with adults often working 2 or 3jobs, who cannot make ends meet. Fortunately, when volunteers are effectively mobilized toaddress pressing needs in our community, transformative change can and does happen.
At New York Cares, our volunteer programs tackle poverty in two ways. We address people’simmediate needs through meal service projects, our annual Coat Drive, and other programsthat provide comfort and support to families and individuals at challenging times in their lives.We also offer longer-term education and skill-building initiatives that help adults break thecycle of poverty by assisting unemployed or underemployed adults in getting jobs that paythe bills, and by teaching people how to manage a limited income and plan for the future.
For children, the surest predictor that they will become poor adults is growing up in poverty.Our volunteers broaden the horizons of thousands of low-income children every year,helping them achieve educational success, exposing them to positive role models andsetting them on a path to self-sufficiency.
Every day, we see the extraordinary impact of our volunteers working together to improvethe lives of others. We believe now, more than ever, in our potential to change lives andbuild brighter futures for all New Yorkers. On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, andmost importantly, the 335,000 New Yorkers we helped this year, we thank you for yoursupport, and for showing that you too, are a New Yorker who cares.
Sincerely,
Gail B. Harris, Board President Ariel Zwang, Executive Director

New York Cares was founded by a group of friends who wanted to take action against the serioussocial issues facing our city. Their goal was to meet pressing community needs by mobilizing caringNew Yorkers in volunteer service—and this continues to be our mission today.
How We WorkEach year, New York Cares brings vital volunteer support to more than 850 nonprofit agencies,public schools and other deserving organizations throughout the five boroughs. Our programstaff work with each organization to identify their most pressing needs, create projects wherevolunteers can make a meaningful difference, and then recruit and deploy teams of volunteers tohelp meet those needs. The great majority of these projects typically would not exist if it weren’tfor New York Cares.
Signature ProgramsMore than 33,000 people volunteer their time through New York Cares every year, while countlessothers contribute to our holiday gift and coat drives. Together, we are able to help more than335,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers. New York Cares does this by:
Creating Year-Round Volunteer Opportunities – Day in and day out, hundreds of New York Caresvolunteers are hard at work throughout the city, helping New Yorkers in need. In a typical month,New York Cares plans and manages up to 750 volunteer projects that address a wide variety ofcommunity needs. These projects take place outside of traditional work hours and involve direct,hands-on, meaningful activities, through which volunteers can see the impact of their work. Theflexible nature of our Calendar program means that even the busiest New Yorker has theopportunity to make a difference.
Creating Citywide Days of Service – In October, volunteers come together to spruce up our city’spublic schools during our annual New York Cares Day event, New York City’s largest day of volunteerservice. Every April, volunteers join forces to revitalize parks, gardens and public spaces. Togetherthese events mobilize over 10,500 volunteers in service to our city.

Volunteer ServiceBy Program Area
Fostering Corporate Social Responsibility – Over the past 19 years, New York Cares hasencouraged and enabled thousands of New York City’s leading companies to play animportant role in meeting the social needs of our city, while simultaneously strengthening theirown organizations, by engaging their employees in volunteer service.
Helping New York Prepare for Disasters – As New York City’s lead organization for themanagement of unaffiliated disaster volunteers, our Emergency Response program ensures that volunteers can be quickly and effectively mobilized in the event of a disaster.
Engaging Youth in Service – New York Cares' award winning Youth Service Clubs offermeaningful community service opportunities to hundreds of teens in our city’s least-privilegedpublic schools. Our goal is to inspire young people to become life-long contributors to theircommunities by educating them about social issues, engaging them in youth-led serviceprojects, and providing leadership training.
Organizing Holiday Gift and Coat Drives – Each winter, countless New Yorkers are forced to choose between buying a warm coat or putting food on the table, and for many, purchasingeven the simplest holiday gift for their children is beyond their means. Since 1989, our holidayprograms have provided more than 1,000,000 coats and 275,000 holiday gifts to men, womenand children who would have gone without.
New Yorkers Who CareIn Action
Our StoryTwenty years ago, the serious social
issues facing New York City had reached
critical levels. In 1987, a group of friends
got together and said, “There MUST be
something we can do to help.” When
they tried to volunteer their time, they
were often told, “Thanks for your interest,
but we don’t have a volunteer program.”
Many of the social service agencies
which so desperately needed their help
simply did not have the resources to
bring in and manage volunteers. But the
friends weren’t deterred, and after
continuing to search in vain for a way to
make a difference, they set up their own
organization—New York Cares.
The model of volunteering they created
was so successful that it sparked a
national movement. Today, New York
Cares is the model for the Hands On
Network, a growing network of 64
affiliated volunteer organizations in the
United States and around the world
that have adopted our unique approach
to volunteering.
“We are proud to salute New York Cares for theirtremendous contributions to improving the qualityof life in the Big Apple over the past 19 years.New York Cares and its volunteers have proventhat simple acts can make a profound andpositive impact, and their efforts have exemplifiedcommunity activism at its very best. I urge allNew Yorkers to consider taking the time to jointhis wonderful organization as it continues toprove that there is much truth behind its name.”—Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of New York
Every day of the year, New Yorkers show they care about strengthening the minds, bodies and spiritsof our city’s underserved children. Together, we help young people who seem to have all the oddsstacked against them to realize their full potential and lead happier, healthier, more productive lives.
Brightening FuturesThe greatest reason that adults are poor is because they were born into poverty. In New York City,over 185,000 children aged five years old or younger are being raised in families living below thefederal poverty line—that’s one third of all youngsters in this age group. Studies tell us these childrenare at higher risk of dropping out of school, turning to drugs or crime, and perpetuating the cycle ofpoverty with their own children. The good news is that if we reach these kids early enough, it ispossible to set them on a different path—a path to learning and self-sufficiency. That’s why New YorkCares’ Children’s programs are so important.
Reading Programs – On mornings before school, New York Cares volunteers read with students atmany of our city’s lowest-performing public elementary schools. As the children explore worlds ofdinosaurs, wizards and faraway lands, they receive the one-on-one attention they so desperatelyneed to help them succeed in school and in life.
Enriching the Lives of Homeless Children – New York Cares volunteers help open the world ofreading to children living in homeless shelters, while providing an enriching experience during adifficult period in the children’s lives. For some children, a bedtime story is something they neverexperience until New York Cares volunteers come to their shelter to read with them. Our volunteershelp the children settle in for the night by escaping into a world of books. Through our Read to Meprogram, volunteers also take homeless children on visits to the library, where they introduce them to the wonders of the written word, and get the excited children their first library card. At such aturbulent time in the children’s lives, these small moments can make a big difference.
College Preparation – At the start of the school year, many students who enroll in our programsdoubt their ability to graduate from high school and the suggestion they could go to college seems

Children’s ProgramsBy the Numbers in 2006

very far-fetched. Most of these students do not know anyone who’s taken the SAT, let alonepeople who went to college. Yet as the weeks pass and test scores begin to increase, a glimmerof possibility emerges. Working one-on-one or in small groups with tutors every week, studentsenhance their test-taking skills, vocabulary, geometry, and most importantly, their confidence.When students start to believe a college education can be theirs, volunteers work with them oncollege and financial aid applications, and share their personal experiences of college life to helpmake the prospect, and the process, a little less daunting.
Recreation Projects – When you’re a 9-year-old who’s never been below 110th Street andyou’re seeing Lady Liberty for the first time, canoeing in a state park, visiting a museum orpicking apples upstate, it can seem like you’ve been transported to another world. OurChildren’s Recreation programs help expand the horizons of children from homeless shelters,hospitals and low-income neighborhoods, inspiring teamwork, building confidence, andcreating lots of fun along the way. While each experience may be a first, the children areseemingly fearless as they summit climbing walls, dive down slides, and literally skate circlesaround their volunteer buddies.
Sports and Fitness – Combine the limited number of sports fields and playgrounds in our city’spublic schools, with poor nutrition and neighborhood spaces that are unsafe to play in, and it’seasy to see why childhood obesity rates are soaring. New York Cares’ Health and Fitnessprograms give children an outlet for their energy and help keep them healthy and active.Whether the kids are perfecting their downward dogs, practicing hip-hop moves, mastering theirtennis serves or shooting hoops, the screams of delight can be heard for miles around. Volunteerson a Saturday morning soccer program soon realize that somehow the kids always manage togoad them into a shooting contest after passing drills; and somehow, the kids always seem towin. But somehow, the volunteers are hooked—there’s no question they’ll be back next week.

Rafael’s Story Rafael* was doing poorly in school; he was
a 5th grade student reading at a 1st grade
level. Fortunately, Rafael's teachers saw
his potential and recommended he join
New York Cares' Early Morning Reading
program. Realizing the opportunity this
presented for him, his grandmother, the
sole caretaker for Rafael and his siblings,
agreed to bring Rafael to school early
every Tuesday morning.
Alan, a New York Cares volunteer, became
Rafael's reading buddy
and together they
practiced reading
aloud. Rafael became
excited about choosing
the books they read, and with each passing
week, his confidence and reading ability
grew. By the end of the school year, even
4th grade books no longer posed a problem.
Because someone took the time to show
Rafael that he is important, he is now
thriving in school.
Last year, New York Cares helped 3,000
children like Rafael achieve academic success.

“New York Cares brings a valuable resource to thetable; committed individuals who share a commonpassion, to benefit our youth. Such time, effortand enthusiasm are essential to the educationcrisis struggle in New York City. Thank you.”—Karl Roesler, Counselor, Double Discovery Center
In 2006, New Yorkers showed they cared about their neighbors in need by volunteering with New YorkCares on an array of programs serving adults. Together, we did more than meet the immediate needsof disadvantaged New Yorkers; we helped them to build better lives through skills development,education, and planning for the future.
Meeting Immediate NeedsFrom meeting essential needs such as serving meals to the hungry, to giving a few hours for friendlyvisiting, our volunteers showed men and women in need that they are not alone. New York Caresvolunteers created a support network for individuals by participating in projects that not only nurturedthe body, but also the spirit. Our volunteers prepared and served over 150,000 meals, providedcompanionship to residents in senior homes, played games and watched movies with people livingwith HIV/AIDS, and enjoyed a range of activities with adults with special needs.
Planning for a Better FuturePlanning for a better future starts by believing that one is possible. On New York Cares’ AdultEducation projects, volunteers help eager but struggling New Yorkers, many of whom aretransitioning out of homelessness, to build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Financial Literacy Projects – Volunteers help low-income New Yorkers improve their fiscalawareness and maximize their limited income. These projects cover a wide range of issuesincluding: the basics of opening a bank account; securing Medicare payments; paying for a collegeeducation; and the importance of good credit. Over 800,000 New Yorkers do not have a bankaccount and, instead, rely on expensive check cashing stores. Volunteers work with low-income NewYorkers to educate them about predatory lending practices and teach them how to develop effectivestrategies to help make the struggle to make ends meet a little easier. On Financial Literacyprojects, spending habits are analyzed, the long term impact of financial decisions is discussed, andgoals are set to provide those who need it most with greater financial stability and a buffer to weatherlife’s ups and downs. Volunteers often witness small but significant behavior changes as clients startpacking a lunch, open a bank account, and begin paying bills on time.
Adult ProgramsBy the Numbers in 2006

• 190,015 disadvantaged adults served
• 3,606 New York Cares projectsserving adults

Career Preparation Projects – At these projects, volunteers provide personalized assistance toadults who are preparing to enter or re-enter the job market. Volunteers work one-on-one or in smallgroups with clients to help them create and revise their résumés and cover letters and prepare for interviews. They work together on a simple goal: to secure a job that pays the bills. On a typical project, volunteers may be paired with people who have worked for years but havenever fully appreciated their own experience and skills—the mother who served as the informalneighborhood day care or the recent immigrant who managed a construction team back home.Clients discover they possess transferable skills that, coupled with practice and confidence, canlead to a better, more financially stable future.
English Conversation Partner Projects – Clients on these projects often bring a sense of urgencyto their learning as they recognize that speaking and understanding English is fundamental totheir success in this country. The participants often travel long distances after work to conversewith fluent English speaking volunteers in order to improve their ability to read labels in thegrocery store, participate in parent-teacher conferences or practice their language skills inexchanges about culture, politics, family life and New York City. It is an environment wheresuggestions are made gently and mistakes are welcomed as a sign of a risk taken.
Computer Tutorials Projects – For years, our program participants have heard phrases like, “Visit our Web site” and “Email me your résumé,” without really knowing what those phrasesmeant. On Computer Tutorial projects, volunteers often have to start by teaching clients the basics of turning on a computer and using a mouse, but work up to sending emails, formattingrésumés and tracking expenses in Excel. A shared sense of pride comes when clients attachtheir newly perfected résumés and cover letters to the emails they are sending in response to job postings they found on the Internet or when a grandmother opens an emailed picture of agrandchild she’s never seen. On these projects, volunteers, quite literally, open up new worlds.

Jose’s StoryImagine trying to raise a young son in
New York City when the most you have
ever earned in one year is just $22,000
and in some years, as little as $5,000.
This is what Jose*, a recent participant in
New York Cares’ Tax
Preparation program,
has been struggling
to do since he moved
here from Mexico
four years ago. Jose, like thousands of
low-income New Yorkers, had never
applied for the Earned Income Tax Credit
because he didn’t realize he was eligible
to receive it. New York Cares volunteers
worked with Jose to help him claim all of
the refunds to which he was entitled—a
rebate of $8,800! The extra funds have
helped considerably with his daily
struggle to support his family.
Last year, New York Cares volunteers
helped hundreds of people like Jose
secure rebates and savings totaling more
than $2.5 million.

“When [the volunteers] asked me about mygood qualities, I couldn’t think of any. With theirhelp, I was able to write out some good pointsabout myself that I didn’t know I had. New YorkCares helped me bring them out.”—Manuel Acosta, Interview Skills Workshop success story
New Yorkerslive in poverty.
Last year, New Yorkers showed they cared about our community by volunteering with New YorkCares on a variety of projects developed to enrich the lives of everyone who calls this city home. Theirincredible generosity over the holiday season also meant that more than 100,000 disadvantagedmen, women and children received warm winter coats and holiday gifts.
Hands On New York Day – Rain couldn't dampen the spirits of the thousands of volunteers whoparticipated in New York Cares’ 12th Annual Hands On New York Day last spring. Volunteers rakedleaves; pruned trees and bushes; repaired fences; planted hundreds of shrubs and bulbs; removedtrash and winter debris; painted murals and community centers; and completed numerous othertasks to revitalize the community spaces we all enjoy.
New York Cares Day – Positive and inspiring learning environments play an important role in studentsuccess. That’s why, every fall for the past 15 years, New York Cares has planned and managed thecity’s largest day of volunteering. At public schools throughout the city, volunteers paint bright, colorfulline games to encourage purposeful play and help get kids moving; transform indoor and outdoorspaces with bright, colorful murals that children can be proud of; organize libraries to provideenvironments conducive to learning; add fresh coats of paint to classrooms, transforming blandspaces into vibrant ones; and paint the exterior of school buildings to make the schools andneighborhoods more inviting. The tasks may seem simple, but the implications are anything but.
Winter Wishes for Kids and Families – The holiday season is a special time of year, a time filled withexcitement and anticipation. Yet, many families do not have the means to purchase even the mostbasic gifts for their kids. Our Winter Wishes program takes a different approach to a traditional toydrive by having children write letters requesting gifts. By doing so, we can ensure that most childrenwill receive at least one gift they really want. After 18 years, we are still staggered by how basic manyof the requests are, like: an art set, clothes for school, or, as some write, “Nothing for me, justsomething for my little brother…” Still young enough to wish for a gift, disadvantaged teens are oftenlost in the holiday rush. Our Teen Program is so successful because it helps meet the needs of agroup that is frequently overlooked. For the adults, frivolous wishes are rare. Typical requests are for

• 89,029 coats collected
• 28,250 gifts given
• 5,342 animals cared for
• 130 schools revitalized
• 95 parks, gardens and communityspaces beautified
household necessities, bedding or kitchen equipment, and occasionally small luxuries, like a DVDplayer—things many of us take for granted.
New York Cares Coat Drive – Most of us can’t imagine facing the cold winter months without a coat or not being able to provide one for our children. Sadly however, this is the reality thatcountless New Yorkers face every year. New York Cares annual Coat Drive provides muchneeded coats, not just to the homeless, but to families who may work several jobs and stillcan’t make ends meet, to recent immigrants who arrived in this country with just the clothes ontheir backs, to seniors on fixed incomes, and to others who simply cannot afford new coats tokeep themselves warm.
Animal Care – New Yorkers also showed they care about our four-legged friends. For shelteranimals, their chance of finding a loving new home is greatly enhanced by human contact.Volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that shelter animals remain happy, healthy and socializedwhile waiting to find a new home.
Rebuilding Lives in New Orleans – New York Cares’ work supporting the victims of HurricaneKatrina did not end with the closing of the Disaster Assistance Center here in New York. As theone year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approached, New York Cares sent two teams down tothe Gulf Coast to help Katrina survivors on their first step towards building new homes and newlives—getting rid of mold, removing destroyed belongings and demolishing what couldn’t besaved. The work was unbearably hot, dirty, smelly and exhausting, but ask any of the peoplewho went, if they would go again, and they’d tell you,”In a heartbeat!”
“It was a pleasure to work with your organizationand the wonderful volunteers that chose toassist us in beautifying and organizing ourschool. Paving our school's path to greatnessare people and organizations like yours, who go above and beyond the call of duty to ensurethat the needs of our community are met.”— Allika Thompson, Assistant Principal,

Ashley’s StoryAshley* was six years old, and had been
living with her mother in a shelter for battered
women for over a month. The staff had never
seen her smile. Like many people fleeing
domestic abuse situations, Ashley arrived at
the shelter with just the
clothes on her back.
Through our Winter
Wishes program, Ashley
received a holiday gift
from a New York Cares volunteer—a giant
teddy bear, bigger than she was. The bear
wore a sash around his waist that said, "I
love Ashley." Ashley was so happy that she
broke out into a huge grin. The shelter sent
us a heartfelt thank you letter saying, "Please
know the difference that this gift made in
Ashley's life and the life of her mother. They
have hope again and can see a future where
they can make a safe home for themselves.
Ashley feels loved, cared for and secure, for
the first time in a long time."
Since 1989, New York Cares’ Winter Wishes
program has provided over 275,000 holiday
gifts to children who would otherwise have
gone without.
