This is the registration for one Community Club project. If you want to register for the 11 week series (every Tuesday), click HERE

Every Tuesday The Service Collective will partner with a local nonprofit to help support their mission. Projects will include: gardening at Cadman Plaza, supporting seniors with Heights and Hills, pre-dinner hosting for newly arrived asylum seekers, cleaning and stocking the Brooklyn Heights Community Fridge, street tree care and composting, and food pantry support among other projects.

This project will support animals in the NYC Animal Care Center’s shelter. We will learn about the shelter system for animals and “draw” attention to some potential pets by adding a painted portrait to their adoption profile. We will also craft much needed cat toys to be used in the center.

Suggested donation: $25 per participant. Donations directly fund programming and help keep our projects free and accessible to all Brooklyn Youth. Donate HERE.

Meet your friends and neighbors to help prep easy meals, package them, and deliver them to the Brooklyn Heights Community Fridge. Keeping the fridge clean and stocked with easy, healthy meals helps ensure all our neighbors get enough nutritious food to eat.

Join us at the TSC Treat Stand! Lunch guests at the CHiPS soup kitchen on 4th Avenue love to get something a bit extra with their meal, especially the warm greetings and smiles from our youth volunteers.

Volunteers will be asked to bake at home or buy hearty snacks and bring them to serve at our treat stand. Each volunteer is required to bring enough food to feed 50 guests. Some favorite treats include bags of fruit, trail mix, banana bread, muffins, cookies, granola bars. We will also have water and coffee.

This volunteer project is for youth 8+ and is drop off only. If you are a family that would like to volunteer together, we will have other opportunities in the future.

Can’t make it, but would like to contribute directly to the TSC treat stand? Please email info@theservicecollective.org and we will make it happen!

Volunteers will work alongside Red Hook Initiative’s Youth Farmers and adult farm staff to cultivate a variety of organic vegetables at the Wolcott Street location urban farm. Tasks may include composting, weeding, harvesting, planting, mulching, site maintenance, beautification and many other farm duties. The farm work often includes moving objects around the site and working close to ground for extended periods of time. 

These are just some components of typical activities you would get involved in, but there are many other farm duties you can get involved in during your time at Red Hook Farms!
