Background 
In 1991, Common Cents revolutionized the world of giving with the inauguration of the Penny Harvest, which is now the largest child philanthropy program in the country.  The Common Cents Penny Harvest grew from one child’s desire to feed the homeless. For the last 16 years, children from virtually every school and neighborhood in the New York City have been converting their innate compassion into action by collecting pennies and making grants to community organizations while learning crucial leadership and decision-making skills.  Through the Penny Harvest, students see the concrete results of their first civic participation — the abstract becomes real.
  
Common Cents New York, Inc. is an affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.
