Lantern Community Services provides innovative services to help New Yorkers who are formerly homeless or have recently aged out of foster care recreate their lives. Our programs have proven results in health, employment, education and life skills. They are delivered inside our residences and tailored to each person’s needs. We provide over 2,000 clients-many of whom live with mental illness, addiction, disability, HIV or other chronic illnesses-with the tools they need to integrate successfully into the greater community with dignity and independence.
Lantern is currently seeking volunteers who can help serve lunch at one of our buildings in Brooklyn, Manhattan, or the Bronx. This is a great opportunity to be able to connect with our clients on a more personal level and help make sure that our staff have more time to be able to interact with clients one on one. If you're interested in helping us out, get in touch!
