Volunteer pathway

Make an impact in your community.

Two hours a month changes a trajectory.

You don't have to quit your job, move boroughs, or write a check to change a kid's life. TWIN runs structured volunteer rotations where professionals, students, and neighbors share what they actually know — career panels, fieldwork, campus visit days, Changemaker Summit weekends. Real volunteering. Real impact. No saviors.

Make an impact in your community.

Pick how you show up.

2 hrs / month

Career pathway panels

Tell 20 teens what your job actually looks like, what you make, what you wish you knew at their age. We bring the room.

One Saturday

Street-survey fieldwork

Help us collect the next East Harlem needs assessment, door-to-door. Training provided. Lunch on us.

Half-day

Campus visit days

Chaperone TWIN cohorts on a CUNY visit. Drive a van, share lunch, answer questions, just be there.

A weekend

Changemaker Summit

Run a workshop, judge pitches, mentor youth-led project teams. Quarterly summit weekends in NYC.

Why two hours moves the number

The exposure gap is the whole gap.

The Equality of Opportunity Project finding: the single biggest variable in who becomes a high-skill professional in America is whether they were exposed to professional possibility at the right age. Most East Harlem kids never have. Your two hours close that gap for 20 of them at once.
