HandsOn Bay Area Offers Virtual Volunteer Opportunities

San Francisco, CA. HandsOn Bay Area is offering Virtual Volunteering programs. The program is a  volunteer-driven response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. While volunteers may need to be physically apart right now, they can still engage in meaningful virtual engagements that support our community. These shared experiences bring volunteers out of their isolation and mobilize them to a greater good.

The organization is offering five reasons to participate:

• Team-based virtual experiences that benefit the community and help teams connect
• Easy and high impact done in a day projects for volunteers
• Curated experiences that align with your team’s interests and meet a community need
• All project scoping, planning, and execution will be handled by our team of professional non-profit volunteer managers to ensure a high-quality volunteer experience
• Connect with your community and make a real difference

Another program is “Digital Dialogues”. It is a facilitated discussion between volunteers, community leaders, and HandsOn Bay Area staff that centers the issue areas affecting our communities. Possible topics include:

• Disability Justice
• Hunger & Homelessness
• Race Relations & Police Brutality

These virtual convening spaces are dedicated to sharing, learning, and critically reflecting on the social issues that matter to each and every one of us. Organizers encourage you to bring your passion for a better world and a commitment to your community.

We connect companies and people with high-quality volunteer projects through our extensive network of local nonprofits and schools in need.

We help companies — including Google, Salesforce, Levi’s and many others — create customized volunteer events to make their employees happier and better serve society.

And we offer hundreds of volunteer projects each month to anyone who wants to help, covering all the causes people care about.

In 2017, we mobilized over 25,000 volunteers, resulting in more than 76,000 hours of service to more than 280 schools, parks and nonprofits across the Bay Area. Our volunteering projects meet critical community needs including education and literacy, youth development, health and aging, homelessness, the environment and more.
