When: SeptemberWhere: CitywideThrough the spirit of volunteerism, HandsOn Bay Area makes it easy for those aspiring to support the San Francisco community. Please view the HandsOn Bay Area website here if you are interested in participating in or volunteering for the Season of Service.
HandsOn Bay Area's Season of Service PSA 2 HandsOn Bay Area staff works with local non-profits, schools and parks to identify high-impact, group-based volunteer projects. These projects may meet an ongoing need of an organization or its clients, or they may be one-time, large-scale transformations of facilities or green spaces. We recruit volunteers to get the job done and match each project with a trained Project Leader to ensure that both the community partner and the volunteers are satisfied with the work.
