Volunteer Opportunity: Sprout


SPROUT


Sprout is an organization that takes special needs people out on trips. Typical outings include bowling, sporting events, art performances, concerts, museum visits, dinners, street fairs and movie nights.

If you become a sprout leader, you will be asked to accompany the people on the trips. They occur throughout the 5 boroughs of NYC and you are only required to participate for 2-5 hours per week.

No special experience or education is required to become a Sprout leader. They give you training, which is very resourceful!
