GET INVOLVED

Be Part of What StrongSteps Is Building.

Strong communities are not built by one organization. They are built by people who decide to show up. Find the way that fits you.

There's More Than One Way to Make a Difference.

People volunteer. People work in the field. People share resources. People open doors.

People sponsor events, build partnerships, organize fundraisers, and tell others about the mission.

You do not have to donate money to help. Choose one way to begin.

What Are You Looking For?

Careers

Turn your work into impact. Join a growing organization working to strengthen behavioral health, peer support, community connection, and recovery throughout New York.

Partner

Let's build something together. We welcome relationships with businesses, schools, nonprofits, community groups, funders, and more.

Events

Show up for community. StrongSteps events bring people together around behavioral health, connection, awareness, and support.

Host a Fundraiser

Your idea. Your way. Your impact. Create your own approved fundraiser benefiting StrongSteps.

You Don't Need a Particular Title to Help.

Find Your Way In

As an Individual

Volunteer, attend events, share resources, create a fundraiser, apply for a career, or help connect someone with support. You do not need to do everything.

As a Family

Make community service something you do together through community events, Holiday for Hope, Movies for Hope, volunteer activities, and awareness projects.

As a Student

StrongSteps began with students helping students. Volunteer, fundraise on campus, support awareness, or explore internship and career opportunities.

As a Business

Sponsorship, corporate giving, employee volunteering, workplace fundraising, matching gifts, in-kind support, and cause-related campaigns.

As an Organization

Referral relationships, resource sharing, education, outreach, co-hosted programming, events, and community initiatives.

Through Your Workplace

Employee giving, volunteer days, workplace fundraisers, 5K teams, Holiday for Hope, employee education, matching gifts, and sponsorship.

Share Your Skills

Sometimes the most valuable donation is what you know how to do.

StrongSteps may have opportunities for individuals and businesses to contribute professional skills or services.

Making a Difference Does Not Always Require a Donation.

Showing up is its own kind of support.
