Volunteerism in a Weak Economy
Much has been written in the past year about New York City's fragile job market and its weakening economic base. Indeed, the Mayor's recent budget proposals underscore the severity of our municipal finances and the need not only for tax increases but also broad service cuts. Organizations, their employees and their customers-whether in the public or private arenas, all stand to feel the strains that our limited resources will increasingly cause.
It is in this climate that STEPS looks to the critical services that volunteers can provide as making the difference between success and failure.
Small community agencies have a limited constituency; yet, the potential for volunteers to make a difference is extraordinary. While not presuming to speak for other organizations, it is likely that many can offer a menu of activities with varying commitments of time and place that would suit a potential volunteer. STEPS certainly does.
STEPS stands firm in its pledge to educate the most vulnerable of New Yorks residents, to find and enact lasting solutions, and to enable every adult and family to become self-sufficient.
STEPS welcomes Credit Card donations (using PayPal),Cash Donations, Volunteers and Tutors (a minimum of 3 hours a week) and InKind Donations.
