Hands On Atlanta volunteers, now 25,000 strong, are at work every day of the year building community and meeting critical needs in schools, parks, senior homes, food banks, pet shelters, low-income neighborhoods and more. What we do Hands On Atlanta currently offers more than 1,000 opportunities to volunteer each month.
Volunteers serve individually or with their families, friends or co-workers.
On Atlanta also manages the largest AmeriCorps program in the Southeast with 145 members. Hands On Atlanta AmeriCorps members serve as teaching assistants, tutors, mentors and volunteer coordinators at 17 elementary schools, six middle schools and 11 high schools in the Atlanta Metro area. In conjunction with hands-on volunteer projects, programs such as Citizen Academy , TeamWorks , and Smart Growth provide volunteers with opportunities to share experiences and learn more about problems facing the Atlanta community. Volunteer leadership Volunteers play a large role in Hands On Atlanta's structure and organizational direction. Each project listed in The Citizen is coordinated by a volunteer Project Coordinator.
