A couple of weeks ago I decided that I should do something productive with my free time other than look for jobs and watch daytime TV, so I decided to join New York Cares. For those of you who don't know what that is, New York Cares is a volunteer organization in New York City that connects New Yorkers with charities/organizations that need volunteers. Before you are allowed to volunteer on a project you must attend an orientation meeting, and mine was last night at no less a place than City Hall.
As a seasoned New Yorker things in the city (like celebrity sightings or film crews on your street) aren't supposed to phase or impress me, but I'm not going to lie, walking into City Hall was pretty damn cool. Not only is the building itself impressive, but the history inside is simply palpable.
So, now I am fully orientated and allowed to start volunteering stay tuned to hear about my first project....And, if you are interested in joining check out http://www.nycares.org/
