The heart behind The Second Mile Project

“What kind of world do you want, and what are you willing to do to achieve it?”

This question has been on my heart for a long time I’ve realized that waiting for the “perfect moment” or for someone else to take the lead will only leave us standing still. True change begins with a single step. It begins with us.

Over the past few years, I’ve poured my passion into volunteering with nonprofits across NYC, and it has truly transformed my life. But recently, I’ve felt a deeper calling to create something of my own—a community built on love, compassion, and the shared desire to make a meaningful difference in this world.

After countless conversations with friends, we all felt the urge to volunteer but were unsure where to start or which organizations to support. It was clear that we needed to shake things up and redefine the volunteering experience. That's where The Second Mile Project comes in. We make volunteering effortless with our monthly community service events—just show up, connect with great causes, and make a real difference!

If you’re searching for a community of passionate, like-minded people ready to make a difference, I invite you to join us! Through monthly community service events across NYC, we’re stepping into the second mile together—creating a world shaped by hope, kindness, and action, one step and one act of love at a time.

With love,
