CommunityWorks
Projects are created
by your agency and supported
through Hands On programs.
Project criteria includes:
- done-in-a-day (usually 2-5
hours)
- group-based
- hands-on
- directly serves Partner Agency
mission
- can include fundraisers and
events
- no advance training aside from
on-site
orientation the day of the
project
For these projects, the
Community Partner
agency has overall
responsibility for managing the
project: designing the project,
arranging to have necessary
tools or supplies, providing
orientation and/or training to
volunteers at the beginning of
the project, and being present
during the entire project.
If
your agency is a Community
Partner:
Hands On provides a Project Leader
who is responsible for managing
the volunteers: communicating
scheduling information between
the Partner Agency and HOP
staff, managing project
sign-ups, and working with the
agency contact to oversee the
event. Our programs are designed to
produce high-quality, meaningful
volunteer projects. Once we
mutually decide to work
together, HOP will work to match
you with a Project Leader.
However, we cannot guarantee
either that we will be able to
match your agency with a Project
Leader, or that we will provide
a given number of volunteers. Be
aware that in general, we need
at least two months notice to
find a Project Leader and
advertise a project.
