Volunteers for Life (VfL) develops and promotes volunteer opportunities for New York Life Insurance Company's agents, employees and retirees so that they may contribute their time and expertise to help meet community needs and to recognize and encourage their ongoing involvement with nonprofit organizations. Our goal is to ensure that our people enjoy meaningful, convenient and rewarding volunteer experiences and that the beneficiaries of their time and commitment are well served.

New York Life Insurance Company has always believed strongly in the value of community service. In 1998, the Company formalized its commitment to community service and created Volunteers for Life. In the initial phase of the program, a number of projects were piloted in New York City. Since then, the program has expanded to New York Life offices across the country. If you office is not an official VfL site and would like to join, please contact Maria Collins in the Home Office at 212-576-8063 or maria_collins@newyorklife.com

Volunteer Opportunities
The mission of Volunteers for Life is to offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, including ongoing programs, one-time events, collections/drives and special events. Our community service projects represent a range of commitment levels so that everyone has an opportunity to participate. Opportunities exist for individuals or teams, once a year, once a month or even weekly. Volunteers may take on leadership roles by becoming Team Leaders, helping to organize and lead groups of New York Life volunteers on a project.
