Volunteers make OHNY Weekend (as well as our year-round programming) possible, and we are honored that so many of our volunteers return year after year to greet and guide thousands of New Yorkers at Weekend locations all over the city. To recognize our dedicated repeat volunteers, OHNY hosts a celebration each year for the people who completed their 5th, 10th, 15th, and (as of 2022) 20th year of volunteering during the previous Weekend. The honored volunteers receive a limited-edition pin and certificate recognizing their achievement.

The ceremony recognizing those volunteers who reached a milestone year in 2022 was held on January 18, 2023 at the General Society for Mechanics and Tradesmen. We are grateful to the General Society, a longtime Weekend Partner,  for the use of their unique and historic library space.

Congratulations and our sincerest gratitude to our volunteers!
