  Volunteer!

Summer 2007, we began volunteer work days on the Whalen. Come join!  Get out on the water and join a cheerful horde doing boat work!  We can also use self-directed individuals who wish to work on program development. Professionals with experience in social work, youth programs, workforce development, historical research, grant-writing, fundraising, event planning, PR and graphic design are particularly desirable, but we can certainly use gal/guy Friday work!

Folks of all ages and skill and fitness levels can help. We have something for everyone.

When n Where:

Volunteer Shipwork occurs Sundays, 1-6pm.  We can also use people at all sorts of hours helping on or near the ship, or running errands in the neighborhood; so get in touch if you want to help but don't have weekend hours available.

We request that you chip in at least two hours during a weekend volunteer day.

Enter American Stevedoring/Brooklyn Marine Terminal gate at Hamilton Avenue and Van Brunt Street.

Due to port security regulations, we need your name in advance and you need to show a photo ID at the containerport gate.  Please please RSVP to mail@portsidenewyork.org.

We’ll pick you up at the gate if you don’t have a car.

Bring your own work gloves if you have them; you are likelier to get a better fit that way.
