Since 1975, Urban Pathways mission has been to engage New York City’s most vulnerable residents – people living on the streets, in subways, or in public areas unfit for human habitation, many of whom have histories of mental illness and/or substance abuse and provide them with “a way home”.

Urban Pathways success relies on a team of dedicated professional employees, as well as the support of passionate volunteers who contribute in a myriad of ways.

A little effort made a huge difference. I was amazed at how a morning spent gardening at the Ivan Shapiro House created a beautiful environment for the residents to enjoy.” – Imogene Kaufman, Volunteer

Option 2: Preparing for Spring/Summer

This day will give employees the opportunity to help tidy up the outside garden space at one of our residences. Volunteers will help freshen up and plant the outside communal areas and have the opportunity to meet Urban Pathways staff and residents. The gardens give our clients something to take pride in and instill responsibility as they care for them throughout the year.
