The Delancey Underground Seeks Community Outreach/Social Media Volunteer
The Delancey Underground is looking for a community outreach/social media volunteer, to help us with our communications efforts and to build public support for our project. We are looking for someone with interest and experience in blogging, YouTube video production, online community management, and related skills. This is a part-time unpaid gig for an all-volunteer initiative (we aren’t getting paid either, this is a labor of love), and we can work around your schedule. If you are interested, please contact Lee-Sean Huang at leesean@purpose.com.
The Delancey Underground project seeks to transform an abandoned trolley terminal into New York City’s first underground community green space.
Beneath one of the least green areas of the city, the Lower East Side, lies a massive, unused space nearly the size of Gramercy Park.
This project envisions using an advanced solar technology to channel sunlight underground, enabling plants and trees to grow.
