Your time can change someone’s life.
Groundswell runs on the energy, skills, and commitment of people who believe that communities deserve better. That might be you.
Why volunteer with Groundswell
For more than 25 years, Groundswell has been building peaceful, healthy cultures across the Bronx. We do this one relationship, one workshop, one training, one activity, one community at a time. That work doesn't happen without people who show up.
When you volunteer with Groundswell you're not just filling a role. You're joining a movement of people who believe that lasting change is possible and that everyone has something essential to contribute.
Where your skills fit
Facilitation & Training
Support our workshops and training sessions as a co-facilitator, note-taker, or program assistant. No prior experience required, just a willingness to show up and engage.
Community Outreach
Help us reach more people through community events, tabling, and neighborhood engagement. If you know the Bronx, you already have what we need.
Skills-Based Support
Bring your professional skills to Groundswell — whether that's videography, facilitation, photography, social media, grant writing, translation, or something else entirely. We'd love to know what you bring.
What to Expect
We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of a few hours per month. In reality, many of our volunteers find themselves wanting to give more once they're in the room. We'll match you with opportunities that fit your schedule, your skills, and your interests.
All volunteers receive an orientation to Groundswell's mission, values, and programs before getting started.
Ready to get involved?
Reach out and tell us a little about yourself. We would love to know who you are, what you care about, and how you'd like to help.
We'll take it from there.
