Hands on Atlanta050

Hands On Atlanta, or HOA, is a non-profit organization that helps individuals, families, and corporate and community groups find flexible volunteer opportunities at more than 400 service organizations and schools. Hands On Atlanta volunteers can participate in projects for schools, parks, senior homes, food banks, pet shelters, low-income neighborhoods, and more. Every month HOA offers a range of service projects appropriate for families with children of all ages. The organization offers monthly orientations and service projects designed specifically for family volunteers. These sessions include an orientation so families can join and continue to volunteer together at Family-Friendly Citizen projects. Youth Service Advisory Board: Hands On Atlanta enlists youth volunteers to help make community service more appealing and accessible to metro Atlanta students. Teens in ninth through 12th grades who demonstrate leadership skills and a commitment to service are considered. Contact the agency directly for details. Youth TeamWorks is a summer group volunteer program open to high school youth ages 14-18. The Youth TeamWorks experience begins with a kick-off event where participants meet their team members and learn about their projects. Teams then participate in four volunteer projects over a period of two weeks. At the end of the program, all the teams gather at a closing project where volunteers get a chance to share service experiences and brainstorm additional steps toward building a better community through service. Major volunteer events, like Hands on Atlanta Day, bring together thousands of volunteers who converge on the city to tackle pre-selected projects on a single morning.
