The HOM model makes community service accessible on anyone's schedule. Projects take place outside traditional work hours. Flexible time commitments permit volunteers to serve once a week, once a month, or whenever they can. Our hallmark Flexible Volunteer Program has been a resounding success. Through our work, HOM has recognized additional volunteerism needs in our community, and has evolved to meet them.
Corporate sponsors underwrite the day and volunteers tackle projects in teams.
In 1996, United Way of Miami-Dade and HOM formed a strategic partnership to promote volunteerism. At that time HOM began operating United Way's volunteer referral network. Through this program individuals are placed according to their interests and skills in long-term, more traditional volunteer jobs at one of nearly 400 nonprofit agencies. In 1997, HOM began its Business Partners Program dedicated to increasing workplace volunteerism. One of the first of its kind, this program designs volunteer projects especially for families.
