Welcome to Hands On Charlotte!  
How to Get Started Back To Main

Hands On Charlotte recruits volunteers and then leads them in community service projects. All volunteers first attend an orientation session. Next each volunteer receives regular communications from HOC that include news and volunteer opportunities. They also receive a password that allows them to sign up for projects on our web site.

In order to reserve a space at a Hands On Charlotte orientation, click on "Orientations & Other Meetings" in the main menu to the left. All orientations take place at the Hands On Charlotte office at 1616 Central Avenue Suite 200, unless noted below. If you sign up and then need to reschedule, please contact the Hands On Charlotte office, as we have a limited number of seats for each session.

If you have volunteered with Hands On Charlotte in the past you may not need to attend an orientation session. Please contact Doug at 704 333-7471 ext. 103 and ask for a password to activate your account.
