Commissioner Hendon outlines additional volunteer opportunities promoted by DVS, including both City of New York programs and non-City initiatives.
- DVS cross-promotes volunteer offerings from various city agencies such as the NYC Civic Engagement Commission, NYC Service, and NYC Aging.
- Our Veterans NYC, an online community calendar, serves as a centralized platform for veteran-related events, programs, and volunteer opportunities in the Greater New York City area.
- The calendar is run by the Bob Butcher Foundation at DVS's request and acts as a one-stop shop for local community engagement.
