Episcopal Social Services of NY - Volunteer Services Dept.

The mission of Episcopal Social Services (ESS) is to transform the lives and communities of New Yorkers in need.

ESS currently serves some 5,000 of New York City’s most vulnerable residents annually through a broad range of programs in human services, including foster care and adoption, family preservation, early childhood education, after-school programs, group homes for developmentally disabled adults, and community re-integration of the formerly-incarcerated.

For over 175 years ESS has pursued that mission in all boroughs of New York City, with a current emphasis on the Bronx and Manhattan, and a growing presence in Brooklyn.
