At Civic Helpers we help people overcome hurdles with government bureaucracies. We won't give up!

We seek to solve problems in ways that don't just help one person at a time, but also improve things more broadly. The Mission Statement of Civic Helpers:

At Civic Helpers we help all New Yorkers overcome hurdles with government agencies, utilities, and health insurance companies. We seek to solve problems in ways that don't just help one person at a time but also improve things more broadly. We serve individuals and organizations (including other nonprofits) in Westchester County and throughout New York State. We accomplish these goals by building a network of contacts that enables us to access a broad range of expertise, building on our experience solving similar problems, using a multidisciplinary approach that empowers us to tackle problems in whatever way(s) maximizes the likelihood of solving them, and through applying our persistence and willingness to devote time to overcome bureaucratic roadblocks.

Sometimes the hardest part of solving problems with bureaucracy goes beyond identifying the source of the issue, it's finding someone who can help.

In this interview on Examiner Media's Local Matters Westchester podcast, Civic Helpers Executive Director David Buchwald explains how we cut through the red tape and solve problems to benefit entire communities. On the podcast, we discuss why so many people struggle when navigating government agencies, health insurance companies, utilities, and more.

Civic Helpers is a proud partner of the Child Care Council of Westchester, Inc., and today we had a productive meeting with Assemblywoman Amy R. Paulin and her staff. We hope it leads to improvements in how government empowers child care providers around New York State.

Great meeting with David Buchwald, local child care providers, and community partners to discuss Civic Helpers' report on employee health insurance for Westchester's child care workforce.

Our child care professionals play an essential role in helping children thrive and allowing parents to work, and they deserve access to affordable, quality health coverage. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important report and discussion.
