Want to make a difference NOW? It takes just 5 minutes to go from good intentions to good works: volunteering is the way to go and Hands On Sacramento is here to help!  Just register (free and simple), then download and send in a youth waiver.

 

Visit the Hands On Sacramento Projects page, and you can easily find what you want, when you want, where you want. 

 

Easy: You can log in, search our database or calendar for the projects you want, and hit “Sign Me Up” or "Have Agency Contact Me" at the end of the project description page.  Then we send you automatic reminders, directions, and anything else you need to know. You can click your way to a volunteer project! We can also refer you to organizations with ongoing projects, and they can coordinate with you to work around your schedule. 

 

Flexible: We boast a variety of projects and organizations, working with all kinds of people for all kinds of causes.  The projects also run throughout the week – mornings, evenings,

weekdays, weekends.

 

Fun:  We are committed to making community service meaningful, rewarding, and enjoyable.  Our projects are “hands-on” and high-impact, and you’ll be working alongside dynamic people who share an interest in helping others.  We facilitate reflection activities that can teach you more about yourself, your community, and how you can answer its needs. 

 

Teachers!! This is a great resource to hand out to students.  For more information, see our volunteer guide, which takes you from inspiration to preparation to action to conclusion. 

What are you waiting for?  REGISTER NOW

Things to remember: 

• You must be 14 or older to register yourself on the Hands On Sacramento website.  Younger volunteers can have their parent or guardian register, find them exciting projects, and sign them up. 

• In some cases, projects require a minimum age for volunteers or an accompanying parent or guardian at the project.  You should be notified about this when you sign up for a project, but if you are unsure, ask HOS directly or email the agency. 

• If you are under 18, all you need to do is bring a copy of our youth waiver signed by a parent or guardian to the project, and you are good to go!  Download the youth waiver here.

• You can search our database for age-appropriate projects.  At the bottom of our “Advanced Search” page, you can enter your age and we’ll find a project ideal for you.
