NY Cares - New York Cares was founded in 1987 by a group of friends who were interested in volunteering their time to take action against the social problems facing New York City. After searching in vain for a volunteer organization with a range of volunteer opportunities for people with demanding work schedules, they formed their own organization - New York Cares. Since then, not only has New York Cares become the pre-eminent volunteer organization in New York City, our model has also been replicated again and again around the country!

THE IMAGINE PROJECT Inc., a not for profit 501(c) 3 corporation, dedicated to nurturing a child’s creativity through the performing arts, was founded in 1992 on the principle that there exists within each child a creative energy which must not lie dormant. Rather, this creativity must be channeled to radiate light. For energy misdirected can lead to things far more destructive than darkness. We must create and facilitate a safe environment for children to explore and engage these creative forces. We must encourage and enable them toward the realization of these vast talents and creative abilities. We must help to nurture, develop and when necessary recapture those innate gifts of childhood which so often are lost by the age of ten as children begin to ask: “What if they laugh at me? What if I make a mistake?”
