Hands On Managed Projects

We recruit and train volunteer Project Coordinators to manage regular, recurring projects at agencies in Buncombe County. These projects are typically scheduled on weekends and evenings making them accessible to working professionals. Hands On  projects can involve activities such as cooking and serving a monthly meal at a local shelter, leading craft activities at an after-school program, playing bingo with seniors, and much more.
