LOCAL GROUPS VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We can change the world. You can help.

  • Are you looking for an experience that you'll never forget? Come volunteer at the Fellowship of Reconciliation in Nyack, New York and you'll find it. You will stay at Shadowcliff, a magnificent 1920's mansion nestled along the Hudson River that serves as the FOR headquarters.
  • You will be surrounded by a staff of diverse, interesting, and dedicated people, including some of the most respected members of the nonviolence and social justice community.
  • You will be immersed in the rich history of the oldest interfaith peace and justice organization in the United States.
  • You will be directly involved in the hands-on work of helping local FOR groups around the country get started, and helping with the FOR's National Conference in August 2004.
  • You'll get educated on FOR's remarkable programs such as disarmament, nonviolence training, racial and economic justice, and more.
  • You will help us help the world come together in peace and love.

About Nyack

Nyack is a beautiful community in Rockland County, just north of New York City. Step out onto the sidewalk in front of Shadowcliff and you're only a short walk from everything. To your right you'll find Nyack Beach State Park with walking and biking trails that wind along the Hudson River, part of the Palisades Interstate Park System. To your left you'll find downtown Nyack, brimming with shops, eateries, the Nyack Public Library, and much more. And a 45-minute bus ride will find you square in the middle of New York City, one of the greatest cities in the world.
