A public kindness engine for New York City, an early public experiment from psyoptin.com. The engine finds and prepares; people bring judgment and action.
Real listings, refreshed every run: free NYC Parks volunteer and stewardship events, ongoing openings from the city's NYC Service list, and organizations from the city's community-organization registry. Nothing here is invented.
