2025 New York City Charity Turtle Race Volunteers

Earthlings NYC creates programming to nourish citizen science and ecology-related education in our communities. We are a 501(c)3 initiative affiliated with Seeds To Soil and Prime Produce, based out of the cooperatively-run Guild for Good guildhall at 424 West 54th St in Hell’s Kitchen.

We provide opportunities for learners of all ages to interact with creatures they may not otherwise encounter living in New York City. Whether it’s a tiny little beetle grub or a hefty tortoise, there is always something living organisms can teach us about the world and about our selves!

We are looking for volunteers to help us keep our 2025 Charity Turtle Race a safe and joyous experience for all our different Earthlings.

We're looking for volunteers to help usher people, check people in, make sure programs are running smoothly, and keep an eyes on our critters. We're also looking for collaborators who want to propose workshop ideas or fun presentations relevant to turtles/invertebrates/ecology.
