We are so happy to announce that the NYC Multicultural Festival has grown so much that we need many more people to help plan and execute amazing experiences for festival attendees this year.
We are planning our 9th edition of the NYC Multicultural Festival and we need volunteers in several areas. These include: Social Media management, Event planning, decorating, Fundraising, Bookkeeping, Public Relations and Outreach, Video editing, Graphic designs for flyers, posters, and festival brochures, security, activity specialist, Ushers, etc.
Volunteer opportunities may last from one day to 6 months depending on the tasks to be done. The task may require that you work from our office, your home or make trips within NYC.
New York City is the most culturally diverse city in the United States. 67% of the NYC population are immigrants or children of immigrants. NYC Multicultural Festival celebrates the vibrant cultural diversity of New York City. It is a day that everyone celebrates their cultural heritage through the presentation of music, dances, ethnic food, fashion,etc. We like to throw in very nice surprises that make people say, "This is awesome."
So if you have great imagination, event planning and writing skills and you like to actually witness the works of your hand while having fun, then come and join us. At the end of the festival while we are viewing the videos you too can say with us, "we did this?"

Mission Statement
NYACE contributes to the diversity of NYC's vibrant cultural life and employs the arts as a tool to create a bridge of understanding between people of diverse cultures. Much more than a singing group, we provide easy access to the learning, performance, and viewing of African traditional, popular, and art music. . NYACE serves the low income population by creating programs that provide easy access to the participation in and viewing of highly artistic performances. In addition, the organization provides opportunities for relatively unknown performing groups to take part in our programs and, thus, widen their audience base.
Description
New York African Chorus Ensemble Inc is a multiracial, and multicultural organization that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of the elderly, mentally, physically and economically challenged, youth, adult and the poor.
Incorporated in 2004, NYACE has a reputation for presenting and organizing culturally enriching and highly artistic programs in NYC for free especially for culturally and economically underserved communities in Harlem.
Our programs include annual concerts aimed at demystifying Africa and connecting the community with music by African composers, a year-long workshop on African music that empower a multiracial group of low income, aspiring musicians with superior performance skills while they develop greater self-confidence, disciple and understanding for others, an annual festival that builds community and celebrates the diverse cultural communities in NYC; and a conference on African music and dance.
NYACE creates opportunities for an international sharing and exchange of ideas. In addition, the organization provides opportunities for relatively unknown performing groups to take part in our programs and, thus, widen their audience base
