The Hands On Atlanta “Spring for Service” campaign will be hosting at least 1,000 projects for volunteers throughout April as part of Global Volunteer Month. Key events include Good Deeds Day on April 3, National Volunteer Week from April 17-23, Earth Day on April 22, and Global Youth Service Day from April 29-May 1, among others.
“Last year… over 40,000 volunteer shifts went unfilled. Each unfilled shift equates to fewer children and families supported and critical needs going unmet,” said CEO Jay Cranman. Hands On Atlanta is also having a $130,000 fundraiser. handsonatlanta.org
