Hands On Houston

Hands On Houston is the newest program of Volunteer Houston. These projects are fun and flexible “hands on” projects in the Houston area that anyone can join. The projects can usually be done in a day, during the evenings or on the weekends.

Hands On Network is a national organization and with its 58 affiliates have established collaborative partnerships with more than 12,000 nonprofits, schools and other community organizations to create real change through meaningful volunteer action.

Each month Hands On Houston will often numerous community service projects addressing issues such as the environment, hunger, homelessness, family service, children/teens, seniors, and people with disabilities. The online database equips you with a resource to aid you in becoming involved in the community and is the first step in the right volunteer position.

Each project needs a project leader to manage the project. In most cases Project Leaders are volunteers who take the extra step and help make our programs possible. Project Leaders may be individuals who have an interest in a particular cause or from the nonprofit organization hosting the event.

Most Hands On Houston projects:
       ▪ Take place outside of regular working hours
       ▪ Do not require a long-term commitment
       ▪ Can be group/team based

Sign up for the project that most appeals to you based on your interest and schedule under the projects tab.
