We hope you are doing well and enjoying the fall season! We are happy to share that since CBN pivoted back to in-person activities last year, volunteering at our centers has been on the rise. Now more than ever, all of us at CBN rely on the amazing work that you, the Volunteers, provide to help us deliver our mission.

We are excited to welcome you back into our centers for engaging and rewarding in-person volunteer opportunities. We welcome volunteers 7 days per week – corporate and other groups, individuals, schools and families.

Thank you for everything you do for CBN. We hope to see you at one of our centers or other volunteer programs soon!

See below for volunteer opportunities and highlights of recent volunteer events, including the opportunity to take your volunteering with CBN to the next level by joining our young professionals’ volunteer group, the Carter Burden Network Associates Council.

Want to learn more about the Associates Council at an in-person volunteer event? Join us Saturday, October 22nd from 11am-1pm for a Fall Celebration Recruitment Event in the Multi-purpose room at our Covello Older Adult Center, located at 312 E 109th Street. We will be assembling goodie bags for our older adults while sharing information about CBN’s mission! Feel free to bring a friend or a family member. Lunch, beverages, and snacks will be provided.

Some of those opportunities include:

• Grocery Assistance
• Friendly Visiting
• Telefriend
• Walking Seniors' Pets
• Computer Assistance

Our Roosevelt Island Older Adult Center is located at 546 Main Street, Roosevelt Island, NY 10044. It's easy to get to via the F train or a fun Tramway ride departing from 60th Street/2nd Avenue, click here for the tram schedule.

Colgate Cares Day

This past September, volunteers from Colgate returned to CBN to host their annual Colgate Cares Day. This event, which Colgate brought to both our Roosevelt Island and Covello Older Adult Centers, educated our members on oral hygiene and skin care through fun trivia! Members even left with bags filled with Colgate goodies. Thank you to Colgate for your continued support of CBN!
