Hello NBCB friends!

North Brooklyn Community Boathouse is offering free kayaking to the public at Queens Landing Boathouse in Long Island City, Queens.

Our Public Paddle Series lets us fulfill our mission of enabling safe, responsible, human-powered boating; and educating residents to be stewards of the history, ecology and sustainability of the waterways of Newtown Creek and the adjacent East River.

We are looking for volunteers to help with:


    • Set up and clean up
    • Registration and getting waivers signed
    • Fitting paddlers with life vests
    • Getting people into boats (moderate lifting required; you will get wet)
    • NBCB Trip Assistants and Trip Leaders

    The event is open to the public from 12:00pm-3:00pm. Training will be provided on-site if needed. Pizza will be available at 1:30pm.

    **For previous volunteers: we are trying a new format. Instead of two 3-hour shifts, we will have only one 4+-hour shift.

    Please note: The backup day for inclement weather/conditions is Saturday Sept 13th. It would be helpful if you are available on both dates. 

    Click on 'Register' to sign up. If you're seeing this via email, you can sign up through our calendar.

    Your help would be greatly appreciated. Email if you have any questions.

    Thank you!
