==== Volunteer Opportunities ====


As of around Nov 2023:

  * Stuyvesant Sq has volunteer opportunities.  https://www.spnanyc.org/event/weekly-volunteer-gardening-6/
  * The Battery on Saturday mornings -- not exactly in the hood, but a nice bike ride and a really nice place to be in the mornings.
  * For those who like gardening, I second Stuyvesant Park as a place to be involved. https://www.spnanyc.org
  * Open House New York - https://ohny.org/support/support-volunteer/
  * Team TLC and their Little Shop of Kindness, both of which serve asylum seekers and other immigrants who are new arrivals in NYC. www.TtlcNYC.org
