Volunteer News & Happenings               February  2016
Dear Hands On Volunteer,
It's here - our new volunteer website is ready for you to start exploring! Log in now to activate your account. While there, check out the new look and search and sign up for volunteer opportunities. We are excited about the new layout and think you'll find it much easier to navigate at your desk or on your phone. We will continue to offer a robust listing of projects that will suit any age, schedule or interest. While there are a lot of fun new functions, we haven't changed everything. Handsonasheville.org remains the place to discover all the best volunteer opportunities in Asheville-Buncombe.

When creating your Hands On account profile, the database prompts you to choose 3 Causes and 3 Interest areas that align with our partner organizations and their volunteer opportunities.  This is a great new feature that helps us recommend volunteer opportunities to you based on what you choose. 

  • When an organization posts a new opportunity, it is linked to causes and interests. Therefore, if the cause/interest aligns with what you chose, you will receive an email notifying you of the opportunity.
  • If you are not passionate about 3 causes/interests, you can always edit your profile to simply include 1 cause/interest.
Flex Projects
A little time. Big impact! Our Flex Projects don't require an ongoing commitment; giving you the chance to explore a variety of service opportunities. 
Portable Projects
Innovative and fun approach to community service - right from your home. Great for groups, and kid-friendly!

Check out the Events Calendar on our site.  This new feature highlights a variety of volunteer information sessions, orientations and forums hosted by our partner organizations. These are a great way to learn more about the work of our partners, and how to connect as a volunteer.  Organizations hosting upcoming volunteer events include:  RiverLink, Read to Succeed, Mission Hospital, and Fours Seasons Compassion for Life.  VIEW EVENTS CALENDAR>
