Volunteer Orientation Day

August 20, 2025 @ 5:00 pm 7:00 pm EDT

Looking for a meaningful way to stay involved with the Sanctuary at your own pace? Join us every third Wednesday from 5–7PM for our monthly volunteer day. RSVP here! (this will take you to an external link to RSVP through the New York Foundation of the Arts Volunteer Portal)

We’ll start with light refreshments and a tour (plus a little campus clean up) and get an in-depth introduction to a volunteer role that interests you – whether it’s helping in the garden, setting up events, cleaning shared spaces, or spreading the word about our work!

Each month has a different role focus, so come find what fits you best! No experience needed – just bring your curiosity and commitment to building a stronger community together. Meet at the main space 3361 6th Ave.

August’s Volunteer Orientation will be around being a Sanctuary Social Butterfly! RSVP here! (this will take you to an external link to RSVP through the New York Foundation of the Arts Volunteer Portal)
