Hands On Houston Caring Employees

A recent study by the Center for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College indicates that while 82% of CEOs know that employee community involvement is important, most don’t have the time to support a quality internal program. That’s where we come in. Hands On Houston knows that your time is money, so we’ve built a unique service model that allows your company and its employees to get involved, save valuable resources and make a meaningful contribution.

Hands On Houston has over 30 years of experience in planning and executing volunteer projects. We partner with many companies, helping them to effectively conduct employee teambuilding and volunteer events. Allowing us to manage the details on your behalf puts our project and volunteer expertise to work for you, saving your company both time and money.

Often times, the biggest challenge in planning a group volunteer project is finding an agency that can accommodate larger groups of volunteers. With over 600 agency relationships, Hands on Houston is uniquely positioned to find the best volunteer opportunity that both meets the needs of the company and the community.

Under this program, we will develop and manage a tailored custom project for your company that meets your specific goals and requirements. Tailoring your project allows you to decide which part or parts of this process are of interest to you. We handle all the details so your employees can get to the heart of what matters- volunteering! Hands On Houston Caring Employees is a fee for service initiative that addresses the entire process of volunteering, from project selection to tool and materials procurement to training and issue education (see list below). The fee structure for these services varies for each individual project depending on the size of the project and the number of volunteers to be included.
