From Glenn:

We have a number of volunteer opportunities for people to help Upper Green Side fulfill its mission of making the Upper East Side more sustainable. Some volunteer activities can been done from the convenience of your own home / online. Others are more hands-on with specific issues. Two specific needs we have currently are:

1. Calendar Coordinator: Update the Upper Green Side calendar with events, activities and meetings that members would be interested in. This may only take 2-3 hours a month but can make a big difference in increasing awareness of local events.

2. Biking Coordinator: Help coordinate all efforts by Upper Green Side to make biking safer and increase the support locally for bike lanes. Go to community board meetings, work with other local organizations and engage local elected officials on biking issues.

Please write to glenn at Uppergreenside.org if you’d like to volunteer for either of these roles. If you have interest in other areas, we’re happy to find a project for you to lead or work on with others.
