Hey everyone, I just graduated college and moved to NYC to take on a full-time role doing equity research. I did a lot of volunteering in college, mostly in environmental causes, and was wondering if there are any orgs like in NYC that do meaningful, impactful work and skew towards the younger side demographic-wise?
Would also interested in hearing about any other volunteering orgs that my fellow monkeys are part of.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, if you're looking to continue your passion for volunteering in NYC, especially with a focus on impactful work that appeals to a younger demographic, you might want to consider opportunities that align with your previous experience in environmental causes. While the specific organizations aren't detailed in the context provided, here are some general suggestions based on the types of activities discussed:
Major Event Volunteering: NYC is known for its large-scale events, many of which have a significant environmental component. Volunteering at such events can be a great way to meet like-minded individuals and make a tangible impact.
Local Non-Profit Organizations: Consider reaching out to local non-profits focused on environmental issues. While the context doesn't specify names, non-profits often look for young, energetic volunteers to help with various initiatives.
Hospital System Fundraising: Although not directly related to environmental causes, getting involved in fundraising for specialty clinics or health systems can also be impactful. This type of volunteering might provide you with a different perspective and a chance to develop new skills.
Community Programs: Look for community-driven environmental programs. These might include local clean-up days, recycling initiatives, or educational workshops that you could help organize or lead.
Professional Organizations: Since you're in equity research, exploring professional organizations that have a focus on sustainability could also be a fruitful avenue. These organizations often have branches or groups dedicated to environmental issues.
Remember, the best way to find these opportunities is often through local community boards, non-profit websites, or networking within the sector. Good luck with your volunteering in NYC!
