be one in a million

For the 2024 edition of the Hands On Atlanta Spring for Service (April 2024) we’re celebrating you as one of the million who have made a difference with us over the last 35 years. 

In recognition of Global Volunteer Month (April 2024) we’re thrilled to announce our 1,000,000th volunteer as part of our 2024 Spring for Service! Whether you volunteer with us, represent a corporation or community organization, contribute as a donor, serve on our board, or embody all these roles, we’re celebrating you as one of the million who have made a difference with us over the last 35 years. 

We continue to work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of people across Atlanta, and reaching this milestone is a true testament to the dedication of our volunteers and supporters. But as it stands today, two out of three volunteer or service spots remain unfilled. Last year, we mobilized 42,000 people to do 205,000 hours of service, yet 80,000 volunteer opportunities remained vacant. 

It tells us that there’s still more work to do. This year, we’re on track to mobilize 50,000 people, meaning our reach has grown nearly 20% over the last year. Your support of Spring for Service enables us continue to grow, helping to fill the gap in unmet needs through civic engagement and education programs. 

For every $1 you donate to Hands On Atlanta, $6 in economic impact is created. 

Join us in supporting Atlanta by donating or starting a fundraiser of your own!

We have hundreds of in-person projects in need of some extra hands taking place throughout April 2024. Check out all of the ways you can volunteer with Hands On Atlanta all month long!

Global Volunteer Month recognizes the thousands of people around the world who serve as points of light. Learn how you can get involved as an individual, a nonprofit, or through your company.
