Activate Calendar
One-Time Service Projects

Are you a busy person who wants to give back to your community? Are you looking for variety in your volunteering experience?  Then the Activate Calendar is for you!  Listing 8 – 10 projects per month, the Activate Calendar allows you a quick overview of one-time service projects.

Team Led Projects

Each volunteer that signs up to assist with an Activate Calendar project, serves with a team of Hands On Greater Richmond members, including an experienced Team Leader.

Email Sign Up Only Projects

Hands On Greater Richmond will also host up to five referral projects (no Team Leader assigned) each month. These projects appear on our Activate Calendar but volunteers are simply referred to the agency via email. Hands On Greater Richmond is not on site during this event.

Volunteer Project Database
Ongoing Volunteer Projects

Hands On Greater Richmond’s Volunteer Project Database allows you to search for just the right ongoing activity that is right for you. Browse by impact area, keyword, geographic area, time frame, skills, or interests.

The results of your search are referral opportunities and by clicking “Have the Agency Contact Me” the website will send an email to the agency with your contact information.  It is that easy!

Family/ Youth Programming

Youth are not the next generation of leaders- they are leaders NOW and can and should have the opportunity to give back to the community in a meaningful way. We are in the process of developing programs for families and youth , ages 12-17.   We welcome your ideas and comments on  projects or programs.

Boardbank

Hands On Greater Richmond and the Especially for Nonprofit program under the Partnership for Nonprofit Excellence banner is working to develop a program that will help train and match individuals who are interested in nonprofit board service or committee work.  The training will include information on the nonprofit sector, financial and legal responsibilities, strategic planning and more.
