It takes just 5
minutes to go from good intentions to
good works. Volunteering is the way to
go and Hands On Asheville-Buncombe is
here to help! Just
register (free and simple),
then download and send in a signed
youth waiver.
Easy:
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.
Flexible:
We host a a variety of
projects at multiple organizations. We
know you're busy! Many of our projects
occur on evenings and weekends and
last about 2-3 hours. Just sign up for
the projects that you are interested
in and fit your schedule. If you're
looking for a project where you can
make a longer commitment, search for
ongoing projects through
United Way's 2-1-1
online searchable database.
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.
Things to remember:
If
you are 16 or older, you can
participate in select projects on
your own. At the bottom
of our
“Advanced
Search” page,
enter your age and we’ll find a
project that's ideal for you.
You must have
a signed
youth waiver on file with Hands
On Asheville-Buncombe before signing
up for a project.
Many of our projects are
"Family
Friendly" which means that youth
under 16 can participate with a parent or
guardian. Check the project
description to find out about
specific age requirements for
"family friendly" projects.
Youth under the age of 16 can be
signed up for "family friendly"
projects by contacting the Project
Coordinator listed with a particular
project. If youth are attending a
"family friendly" project with an
adult who is not their parent or
legal guardian,
we must have a
signed
youth waiver on file before
the youth can be signed up for the project.
