In honor of Read Across America Day, Wednesday, March 2nd, Hands On encourages you to volunteer to support students in and out of school. Hands On collaborates with local organizations that offer volunteer opportunities to help students succeed. Opportunities include:
-
reading with and providing homework help to children performing below grade level to increase their academic skills.
- serving with agencies and schools that offer high-quality, affordable early care and education programs.
- spending quality time/mentoring youth to strengthen the social and basic life skills they need for success.

 Hands On offers you the option of additionally logging your volunteer hours for opportunities not managed by Hands On that you responded to on our site. This is a great way to ensure that ALL of your service hours - both projects managed by Hands On (like Flex and Portable) as well as others posted by our partners - are tracked and compiled in your profile.
- Simply log in to your personal profile and click "Track Hours".
- In the "Hour Type" section, choose the referral opportunity you participated in from the drop down list.
- Complete the date/time info within the "Hours Detail" section.
- Submit. Your hours will then be sent to the partner organization for approval!
