The Marine Park Young Adults Association (MPYAA) is a registered New York State not-for-profit civic organization that organizes volunteer service projects and community events in the Marine Park neighborhood and across southern Brooklyn. Our mission is to bring people together through service, social connection, and neighborhood initiatives that strengthen our community.

We are launching this fundraiser to support several upcoming initiatives and to purchase equipment that will be used for our volunteer programs and public community events.

Funds raised will go directly toward supplies for our community litter pickup in the Marine Park neighborhood on April 25, including trash grabbers, brooms, dustpans with handles, gloves, garbage bags, and other cleanup materials to help volunteers safely remove litter and keep the neighborhood clean.

Donations will also help us purchase a larger outdoor movie screen and improved speaker system for our free summer movie nights at the historic Lott House. Last year’s movie night was a great success and brought guests and members from across southern Brooklyn together, but the screen we used ended up being too small for the size of the crowd. With upgraded equipment, future movie nights will be easier for everyone to see and hear.

Additional funds will help cover supplies for our regular community events at Marine Park Coffee, including movie nights, game nights, and other neighborhood gatherings that create welcoming spaces for people to meet, connect, and get involved in local initiatives.

All funds raised will go directly toward cleanup equipment, event supplies, and community event equipment used for MPYAA’s volunteer initiatives and public events. These programs are organized entirely by volunteers, and every contribution helps us continue providing service opportunities and free community programming for residents across Marine Park and southern Brooklyn.

Thank you for supporting local volunteer initiatives and helping us continue building a stronger community.
