Ages 10 – 15
Calling all animal lovers! Have you ever wanted to volunteer at the pet shelter, but didn’t know how to start? We’ve got you!
We’ll travel to Animal Care Centers of Brooklyn and meet with ACC’s lead educator, Katherine Reeves. Together we will learn all about ACC’s mission and facilities. You will take the official ACC orientation that is required for all youth volunteers who want to help at a future shift. You will learn about your responsibilities and ways to help. Kids age 10-15 are eligible to:
- Read to shelter dogs to ease anxiety and help them get used to kind human voices
- Become a profile photographer
- Make toys, fold blankets, and other helpful tasks
NOTE: Orientation will be from 11a – 12p at ACC Brooklyn, 2336 Linden Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11208. If your student needs to travel with a TSC we will be departing from the Clark Street 2/3 at 10a. I will send a survey 2-3 days prior to have you confirm your travel plans.
This project has a suggested $15 donation per attendee. DONATE HERE. Thank you!

This is the registration for the 8 week after school series. Community Club will meet every Tuesday starting 4/9 through 6/4, no service 4/23.
Ages: 9 – 17
Location: We meet at St. Ann & Holy Trinity Church, 157 Montague St. but will be out in the community as well.
Every Tuesday The Service Collective will partner with a local nonprofit to help support their mission. In the past, our volunteers:
- Made sandwich lunches for 300+ patrons at CHiPS Soup kitchen – hungry people who otherwise would have gone without lunch
- Learned about our NYC animal shelter crisis with Animal Care Centers and used their immense art skills to “draw” attention to shelter pets
- Empathized with older adults with Heights and Hills and created Birthday Cards for those seniors who otherwise might not be celebrated
- Completely transformed two spaces in Cadman Plaza Park from overgrown weeds to beautiful garden beds
- Helped sort books to donate to Brooklyn Book Bodega as well as build a little library for kids receiving mental health services at Violence Intervention Project
- Shopped twice for West Brooklyn Waterfront Mutual Aid – an organization built during Covid under the tenants of mutual aid – neighbors helping neighbors and distributing goods from those that have them to those in need
- Transformed our space into a formal dinner setting to host local refugee families from New Neighbors Partnership
- Cooked meals for the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue Men’s Shelter
You can see photos of our Tuesday volunteers at work HERE.
Suggested donation: $225 per participant for the 8 weeks series. Donations directly fund programming and help keep our projects free and accessible to all Brooklyn Youth. Donate HERE.
Volunteers may also choose to sign up for individual Tuesday projects. These will be listed separately

Stories
Another Story Title
I felt my experience of humanity expand and my identity as a justice-seeking Jew strengthen. I felt my compassion deepen, and my understanding of society and the structures that hold it together unfold. Above all, the Service Corps gave me the tools to be impactful in an often scary and confusing world. Especially in times like these.

Story Title
I think it’s important that we look beyond ourselves…While it’s important to take care of ourselves and our families, it’s also important to take care of the strangers that are in our community, that are kind of the unknown family. They’re part of us, and we all depend on each other even if we don’t necessarily see or feel it in the day to day.
FAQS
Events can vary based on our partners needs. In some cases, we work out of our hub, Saint Ann’s Church. Other times, we work at our partner’s site. In either case, we will begin the project with an introductary grounding: Why have we all gathered? Why is this work important? What need does it address? Sometimes this education might take place prior to an event (via a short zoom meeting) and sometimes it will be facilitated by an educator on site prior to the project beginning.
Service projects will vary in length and type of work. Most of our time we will be actively working on the identified project. At the end of the session, volunteers will be asked to help clean up, and we will reflect on the work and what we learned.
All of our opportunities are one-time events. You can sign up for one activity or multiple depending on your interest and schedule.
Your commitment is important to our partners. We are counting on you. If you do have to cancel, please email amanda@theservicecollective.org
We work with Brooklyn nonprofits that need help and can welcome youth volunteers. No job is too big or too small. We love getting creative requests and finding ways for kids of all ages to engage in service.
- Show up. Be on time and don’t leave early
- Come ready to listen, learn, and work hard
- Trust that our partners know what they need better than we do
- Respect our TSC staff, facilities, fellow volunteers, and partners
- Possess patience and positivity
