Across the state, Hands On Georgia promotes the
power of service - how it weaves together
communities, supports vital nonprofit organizations
and transforms both those serving and those being
served. Hands On Georgia encourages people to do
good things and also to reflect on the reasons why
those good things need to be done. While
volunteering empowers people in communities to
improve the quality of life for all, it also
develops more informed and inspired citizens.
Hands On Georgia calls upon Georgians to help tackle
tough issues in our state through volunteer service
and engaged citizenship. We need strong civic
participation from the citizens of Georgia in order
to make our schools work effectively, to keep our
environment healthy, to nurture children whose
family support has broken down, and to bring
Georgia’s citizens together across divisions of
region, race, and economic lifestyle through the
common platform of service.
