Serve Your City: 6 Fun Ways To Volunteer Outdoors This Summer

Bring your neighborhood park back to life during It's My Park Day season, which runs from May to October. Coordinated by Partnership for Parks, this program invites you and your neighbors to spend some time cleaning up your local park.  It runs in all five boroughs so you're sure to find something close to you.  Volunteers can plant, paint fences and benches, put in mulch, pick up litter, and even participate in free events like kayaking! Visit their website to search for projects near you that you can get involved in. More info HERE [Photo via @emthebee]
