Welcome to
Hands On Northeast Ohio!

We make it easy for people to access and participate in volunteer activities. We work to create activities that align volunteers' interests and busy schedules while building the capacity of local nonprofits, schools and municipal agencies to make real impact in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. 

In the news:

1) TEAMWORKS IS HERE! Sign up on a team of 10-12 to look at an issue, agency, or neighborhood in greater detail. TeamWorks is a national program that we are bringing to the area for the first time. Our inaugural TeamWorks program has an environmental focus. Check out the information and sign up today.

2) Celebrate National Volunteer Week April 27 – May 3, 2008 by volunteering with Hands On today!
