Revitalize community spaces throughout New York City with Habitat for Humanity!
Our Brush With Kindness (BWK) program enhances community spaces in all five boroughs by painting interiors and murals, landscaping and gardening, and performing minor construction tasks in public schools, playgrounds, community centers, and public parks.
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to create your own schedule, meet new people, learn new skills, and most importantly, make a positive difference in the lives of others.
No experience is necessary - just enthusiasm!
Our sites are open Wednesday through Saturday 9:00AM - 2:30PM. Volunteers ages 14 - 17 may participate with a signed waiver from a parent or guardian.
Because we have an outpouring of support for weekend opportunities, we have the greatest need for volunteers on weekdays. For those interested in weekend opportunities, we encourage you to use the Waitlist Option on our registration system. New opportunities are posted every Monday.

Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County creates, preserves, and advocates for healthy, affordable homes and the generational equity-building opportunities that homeownership provides.
