On Saturday, October 17, 2009, a group of volunteers from New York Cares visited P.S. 200 to complete various projects which included organizing and leveling our book room, painting the outside fence, painting line games in the schoolyard, and painting two murals in our gym!
Their efforts are greatly appreciated by our faculty, students, and parents!
New York Cares was founded by a group of friends who wanted to take action against the serious social issues that faced our city in the late 1980s. Finding few options to help, they created their own organization to address the problems from the ground up.
New York Cares is now the city's leading volunteer organization, bringing vital volunteer support to thousands of nonprofit agencies, public schools, and other deserving organizations. Today's volunteers share our founders' vision that we all have a role to play in making our city a better place.
Our staff works with partner organizations to identify their most pressing needs, creates projects to bridge the gaps, and recruits and deploys teams of volunteers to make a difference.
