What does a Greeter volunteer actually do?
• Highlight the cultural and ethnic diversity of New York by introducing visitors to neighborhoods in all five boroughs that visitors might not see on their own. Greeters show them the lesser known sights and attractions, street fairs, flea markets, the little shops and restaurants which give a neighborhood its color and flavor. • Show visitors what life is really like in New York by accompanying the visitors through their own or other familiar neighborhoods. Visit appointments last about 4 hours and are meant to be neighborhood walking experiences. • Orient visitors by answering questions, introducing them to public transportation, and helping them feel more comfortable, welcome, and informed in the world’s most exciting city.
