Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City's Race for the Kids - part of Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play - is an opportunity for all New Yorkers to join BBBS of NYC in support of their cause to raise awareness of the mission, generate funds to support their programs and recruit more volunteer mentors.
This 5K family-friendly Run/Walk attracts more than 4,000 participants. At the Race and picnic that follows, the children served by our organization are joined by their mentors and families, our many other adult volunteers and caring New Yorkers for a fun-filled day that celebrates the power of mentoring and emphasizes the importance of health and exercise.
Volunteers for the event will be tasked with various on-site duties, such as handing out food, conducting race registration or assisting as a race course marshall, along with other tasks. This a great opportunity if you are energetic, enjoy working with youth, and want to help the nation's premier youth mentoring organization.
