Volunteer from home Hands On offers projects that can be done from various locations (some can be done from home!). We even have a few "portable projects" that give you all the information you need to do the project on your own or with a group of friends.	Volunteer as a group Volunteering as a group is a great way to build team-work, have fun, and make a difference. Hands On makes it easy to find projects for your group.

Did you know that 20% of our volunteer slots are filled up by people who never show up? We understand that plans change.

When you find out that you cannot attend a volunteer event it is very important to do two things:

1. Let the volunteer leader know that you cannot attend the project. His or her contact info will be in the email you received confirming your project registration.

2. Remove yourself from the project, so someone else can sign up to take your place. It’s easy. Just  log in to your account, click  on “My Projects" and then click “Remove me.”

Keeping us posted on whether you can attend your project is an easy way to help us make a 20% bigger impact in the community.
