volunteer opportunities?

Hey, just wondering if anyone knew of any volunteer opportunites in CH - preferably with homeless / drug addiction, but working with children, doing tutoring or something would be good too. I don't know where to look or anything. Thanks a lot! : )

Why don't you give Doris Alexander a call at Community Board 8? She's the district manager and her phone number is 718-467-5620.

Here is a resource list of tutoring programs in Brooklyn, several of which are in or around CH

Yes, its the Crown Heights Youth Collective. 915 Franklin Avenue.

Are you interested in volunteering for an event to fight against cancer? I'm a part of a small group of neighborhood people starting up the first-ever Relay For Life in Crown Heights/Prospect Heights area. It is going to be awesome! Let me know and I can give you more info!

the crown heights youth collective has moved to a new space at 113 Rogers (park place & prospect, i believe)
the # is 718-756-7600

ah thank you everyone so much for the information! : ) I'll definitely check everything out. to Lois, is it horrible if I say no i'm not really interested? I think I (like most of us) just want to spend my time towards something i'm really passionate about, but thanks : )
