HIGH FIVES IN ‘25

For the 2025 edition of the Hands On Atlanta Spring for Service (April 2025) we’re celebrating service as THE way ATLiens are solving problems and building community - together. 

Volunteers power the nonprofit sector and here in Atlanta, volunteers make an incredible impact on and in our community.

This past year Hands On Atlanta mobilized over 60,000 volunteers and we’re on track to engage more than 70,000 people in service this year. Those individuals served more than 280,000 hours, which totals close to $9 million in value invested back into Atlanta.

But if we dig a little deeper, beyond just the number of volunteers and hours to get to the results of their work, last year our volunteers helped 60+ food pantries distribute over 4 million meals into the community. In addition, they supported over 12,000 students in our partner Title 1 elementary schools with wrap around services, including math tutoring and social emotional coaching, STEAM enrichment, meals for extended holidays/breaks from school and more!

This is impact worth celebrating AND supporting. Our Spring for Service is a way you can help us do both. April is Global Volunteer Month, featuring days of service like Good Deeds Day, National Volunteer Week, Earth Day, and Global Youth Service Day.

Get involved, join an event, volunteer, start a fundraiser to support volunteerism or donate to an existing fundraiser.

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 2025. 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.
