Our volunteer experiences are curated to accommodate the size, interests, and needs of your team. Each project is unique and addresses the current needs of one of the over 35 parks in Brooklyn and Queens we support in partnership with the National Park Service, New York City Parks and New York State Parks. Parks in Jamaica Bay and the Rockaways offer a unique and exciting connection to nature, collectively hosting over 325 species of birds, 50 species of butterflies, and 100 species of fish, that make for a thrilling and meaningful day out of the office. Past projects have included shoreline clean-ups, painting a mural in a local playground, beach grass and/or tree plantings, marsh island plantings, invasive plant removal, trail building, and much more!
JBRPC will provide all needed supplies, snacks and drinks, and secure necessary permits. If you would like to have food available, or setup a breakfast or lunch, please contact us and we will be happy to help coordinate with you. In accordance with New York State law, all contributions are tax-deductible less the value of goods received.

Bloomberg volunteers and their families remove marine debris and trash from Plumb Beach shoreline on Earth Day, 2018.

United by Blue volunteers remove trash from Jamaica Bay Park shoreline on Blue Friday, 2018.
“United By Blue partnered with the Conservancy on coastline cleanup projects that removed thousands of pounds of trash from Jamaica Bay waterways. The JBRPC team is knowledgeable and engaging, and this allows volunteers to have a positive and rewarding experience while giving back to their local natural areas. Through this partnership, we not only helped the Conservancy achieve its mission of caring for public parkland, but it also allowed us as a company to engage new communities and fulfill our mission of removing a pound of trash from our waterways for every product we sell.” ”
