How can I get involved?
Click the "volunteer now" link above! You can choose a location and time, and even invite friends to be placed at the same location as you. If you're not ready to sign up, leave us your email and we'll remind you later.
If you're on a listserv, send out an email encouraging others to volunteer with you. You can also throw a Nametag Day-themed event and request nametags for a Nametag Day-themed event on our site. If you tell us about it, we'll do our best to spread the word.
Meet your fellow New Yorkers
Ever wanted to connect with the millions of New Yorkers walking past you? Each day brings opportunities to make new friends and share experiences. All too often, we can forget to notice the people around us. Nametag Day aims to break this barrier and strengthen the human element of the New York experience, adding a bit of spontaneity and silliness to people's day.
Help document the day!
Tweet us your photos and videos from YouTube and Instagram, and we'll feature them on our site.
And let's make a documentary together. Film a story or three about the day, being as creative as you like. We'll provide a dropbox to send the footage and then we can crowd-edit it into a citywide interactive documentary.
