Our programs
We run community programs in six areas, each designed to help neighbors connect, learn, and take action together.
Tracking local jobs, incomes, and cost of living to show what changes working families most.
Helping residents understand local decisions and take part in meetings, voting, and public forums.
Working with neighbors on safer streets, shared spaces, and practical community safety plans.
Organizing neighborhood cleanups, tree planting, and local efforts to protect parks and waterways.
Offering free internet help, device support, and training so everyone can use online services.
Connecting residents with health screenings, fitness activities, and information on local care.
How our programs work
From finding a need to joining in, here is how you can take part in GNYAP community programs.
Get involved
Neighbors meet to decide where their time and resources can help most.
Open to everyone
No experience is needed to join. Every program explains what to expect, and our coordinators help you get started.
We talk with neighbors, local leaders, and community members to find out which programs and resources are needed most right now.
Browse our current projects and choose the ones that fit your schedule, skills, and interests. Each listing explains what to expect.
Join us in person to help run workshops, deliver resources, and work alongside neighbors. Our coordinators guide you on site.
Get follow-up updates on results, find out about new opportunities, and keep helping as much or as little as you like.
