The Carter Burden Network has spent 54 years providing aging older adults 60 and over throughout New York City with various initiatives and services to allow them to live with safety and dignity. Pre-pandemic, we held our Annual Fashion Show, an event that our older adults eagerly anticipated each year. It was a time for them to shine, walk the runway on a red carpet, and look their absolute best. This tradition at Carter Burden not only highlighted the beauty and confidence of our participants, but also brought together individuals, families, staff, volunteers, and community members. It was an occasion to celebrate and support one another, fostering a sense of belonging and community. Most of the CBN members modeling will wear outfits they either made or embellished at the sewing labs at the OAC. Our Carter Burden Leonard Covello Older Adult Program is pleased to announce that we will be resuming our Annual Fashion Show on Friday, April 25th, 2025. We are seeking 5-6 volunteers to assist us with makeup. Makeup items will be provided and expertise is not required. It is more than just a fashion show; it is a celebration of beauty, confidence, and the uniqueness of our older adult members. We would greatly appreciate any assistance in making the Fashion Show a success. Your voluntary support will help us create an unforgettable experience for our older adults!

Description

The Carter Burden Network was established in 1971, by New York City Council Member Carter Burden. He represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and founded the Center to assist the neighborhood's large number of older residents who were poor, in declining health and isolated.

The Carter Burden Network has grown into an agency with 12 programs in 7 locations and more than 100 employees. Now we serve approximately 5,000 seniors every year across the borough of Manhattan. It is a network of centers, programs and services that work together with government, corporate, individual and community partners to lead the way in aging services in New York City.

CBN offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to meet your interests. No matter your age, experience or schedule, CBN can accommodate your needs to ensure that you have a meaningful and effective volunteer experience. Opportunities can range from a one-time service day to a long-term volunteer commitment. We welcome individual, community and corporate groups to volunteer with us!
