Timothy “Tim” Maleck has been an enthusiast volunteer dating back to his Jesuit high school roots. Timothy Maleck supports various charities including New York Cares, through which he has participated in numerous programs.
Created in 1987, New York Cares recognizes that there is a tremendous desire among New Yorkers to give back to their community, and it has designed programs to facilitate those ambitions. One of these is a program called Lead Projects, which allows qualified individuals to step up and increase their leadership skills through volunteering.
Team leaders can take the initiative to help thousands of New Yorkers in need and improve their community spaces. In doing so, they can fortify their resumes by developing management skills, or just give back to the city they cherish.
Becoming a team leader is a multi-step process that begins with taking part in at least three New York Cares projects. Once this is accomplished, a prospective team leader must attend an Introduction to Team Leading session. There, he or she will learn more about the team leader position and New York Cares’ Community Partnerships.
After a group interview, approved candidates will then receive training for the role of team leader. After training, the prospective team leaders will then choose their maiden project from among the organization’s projects in need of a leader.
