Friends of Van Cortlandt Park

About

Friends of Van Cortlandt Park is the volunteer-driven non-profit that supports stewardship and education in the park. Programs include Van Cortlandt Adventures (school field trips), the Youth Run Farm Stand (teens learn farming and run a community produce stand), a Teen Trails Crew (teens maintain the park's trail system), and free family events year-round. Volunteer days welcome kids and families for hands-on park stewardship. Distinct from the broader Van Cortlandt Park Alliance — Friends focuses on direct community engagement and education.
