I worked at New York Cares from June 2011 through March 2014. My responsibilities during that time changed, grewn, and changed again, but some remained constant. Like designing, writing, and sending emails.

Here are a couple examples of our monthly newsletter which goes out to a large majority of our volunteer base. In March 2012, I redesigned the email to cut down on text and increase the use of high-quality pictures so they would be more engaging.

February Update – Get on Board and Volunteer

July Update – It’s Hot, Let’s Look Forward to Fall

This September – Cares Day Fall, New Website, And Free Beer

Email encouraging volunteers to sign up for projects in their neighborhood.

I also managed our social media channels. Below, you’ll find some of my favorite blog posts:
