Volunteer Program Coordinator

Partnerships for Parks (PfP) is a joint program of New York City Parks and City Parks Foundation (CPF). PfP supports and champions a growing network of community leaders who care for and advocate for neighborhood parks and green spaces. We equip individuals, organizations, and government partners with the skills, tools and resources needed to ensure these spaces remain vibrant and dynamic community assets.

The Partnerships for Parks Volunteer Program engages corporate and nonprofit partners through It’s My Park volunteer opportunities, our signature volunteer program that helps communities beautify and care for their local park. The Volunteer Program coordinator centrally manages the administrative and logistical aspects of volunteer engagement across PfP departments, and supports priority initiatives through programming, partnership development and resource development.
