The Hudson River Park Trust aims to design, build, operate, and maintain a new public park and estuarine sanctuary in and along several miles of the Manhattan shoreline.
The major goals of the Trust are to:
- Continue advancing park design and construction to achieve the full vision for a magnificent waterfront park as outlined in the Hudson River Park Act.
- Operate and maintain the Park at a high level so that it remains a community asset and economic generator and continues to serve the millions of New Yorkers and tourists who use it annually.
- Promote environmental stewardship and enhance the Park’s Estuarine Sanctuary through public education, research and habitat enhancement.
- Provide free and/or low-cost recreational, educational and cultural opportunities for the public.
- Ensure the Park’s future financial self-sufficiency by developing the remaining major commercial nodes.
Not only do they have available volunteer opportunities, but they also have paid seasonal summer positions (two of which are attached and linked below):
