At Breaking Ground, we provide all sorts of supportive services for our residents from case management and self-sufficiency workshops, to community-building and recreational activities in order to promote stability in the lives of the people we serve. The Times Square's Green and Healthy Living Expo is our annual healthy living information fair. A number of organizations and vendors will be attending the event, sharing information with tenants concerning various aspects of green and healthy living.
We are in need of 10 volunteers to assist with cooking and fitness demonstrations, distributing materials on how residents can lead and maintain healthy lives, serve healthy snacks and refreshments, and encourage folks to participate in health screenings. Most importantly, volunteers should be engaging, creating a warm and inviting space for our clients, so that they'd be more receptive to receiving these resources.
Please know that if you are reserving this volunteer opportunity on behalf of a group, you will be committing to providing the number of volunteers needed to ensure the success of this event.
We truly value and depend on the help of our volunteers, and tend to express our thanks on social media. If reserving this opportunity on behalf of a group, you will be asked for any social media hashtags or handles your company utilizes, to be incorporated into our thanks.
Thanks very much for considering us!

Mission Statement
Breaking Ground’s mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Description
At Breaking Ground, we believe that everyone deserves a home.
That’s why, since 1990, we have been providing permanent affordable housing for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Beginning with a single building, we are now New York City’s largest provider of supportive housing. We own and/or operate 24 properties with over 3,530 apartments in New York City and beyond.
- For chronically homeless people, we create safe, secure housing with essential on-site support services to help them address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
- For those at risk of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-important safety net.
Our work has enabled more than 13,000 people to overcome or avoid homelessness since 1990, and we increase that number every single day. At the start of 2016, we have nearly 1,000 units of housing in various stages of development in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and are significantly expanding our Street to Home homelessness outreach program so that we can offer help to every single homeless person we meet.
