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 do 24 hours in advance via email info@theservicecollective.org. Subject of email should include “Cancel + Name of Project” In email, include name(s) of volunteers cancelling.

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. 

  1. Show up. Be on time and don’t leave early
  2. Come ready to listen, learn, and work hard
  3. Trust that our partners know what they need better than we do 
  4. Respect our TSC staff, facilities, fellow volunteers, and partners 
  5. Possess patience and positivity
