ABOUT ONE BRICK
One Brick creates a community of volunteers by offering fun opportunities for individuals to serve local nonprofits. We provide a calendar of volunteer and social events to help people get involved, have an impact, and have fun, without the requirements of long term commitments.

One Brick supports other local nonprofits by creating a friendly and social atmosphere around volunteering. After each volunteer event our volunteer team invites everyone to gather at a local restaurant or coffee shop where they can get to know one another in a relaxed social setting. Additionally we host regular social events for our volunteers to connect to one another and to welcome new volunteers to our community.

We provide a flexible way for you to volunteer where and when you want.

The local non-profit we are supporting for this event is Earth Celebrations:

ABOUT EARTH CELEBRATIONS:
Earth Celebrations’ Ecological City is a cultural and environmental action project culminating in a 6-hour procession on Saturday, May 9th from noon-6pm, connecting local initiatives to city and global climate challenges. The day-long ecological urban pilgrimage features giant puppets and spectacular costumes and musical bands with 20 site performances celebrating the myriad climate solutions being designed and implemented throughout the community gardens, neighborhood and East River Park waterfront on the Lower East Side of New York City.

During this workshop, we will be helping the artists in charge create the beautiful puppets that will be used during the procession. Don’t worry if you aren’t artistic, there will be plenty of guidance and help on site!
