Get Involved
There are so many ways that you can get involved in the work and mission of ESS: from opening up your home and your heart as a foster parent, to helping to tutor and mentor disadvantaged public school students; from helping to raise up new friends by sharing the compelling stories of our programs’ successes, to meeting the very real material needs of our clients by making gifts in kind; in all these ways, and many more, you can help extend the reach of our dedicated staff and build up our infrastructure of supporters and benefactors to keep our vital work going as it has since 1831. Please check out the links to the right for some ideas on how you can help ESS transform the lives and communities of New Yorkers in need!
