Are you a creative visionary with a passion for making a difference? Join Day One NY as a Volunteer Graphic Designer and help us create assets for our Voices Against Violence Gala which will be held on May 20th, 2025 at Guastavino's!

Our gala raises awareness about dating violence confronting youth today, honors those whose work promotes safe and healthy relationships among young people, and develops resources to support Day One’s vital services.

Day One Overview

Since 2003, Day One has devoted its full resources to preventing intimate partner violence (IPV) among young people. Serving New York City youth up to 24 years of age, Day One partners with youth to end IPV through a combination of preventive and direct services. Our multi-disciplinary approach brings together a highly collaborative staff with expertise in legal, social service, and education service provision.

The ability to take initiative, coordinate with others, and follow through in a dynamic and highly confidential environment in this role is a must. This position will serve as the primary point person for all staff in their access to supplies, technology, and office resources.

Day One recognizes that anti-violence work is emotionally demanding and professionally complex.

Office policies are designed to promote healthful practices and establish a supportive and collaborative environment for and among staff, interns, and volunteers.
