Points of Light and Hands On Network

About Hands On Network
Hands On Network leads an international movement of people who roll up their sleeves, get hands on, and solve community problems everyday. We put people at the center…repairing homes, ensuring green spaces and partnering with students and faculty to transform schools. Across the country and the world, our 68 Hands On Action Centers partner with more than 12,000 nonprofits and schools, activating hundreds of thousands of volunteers who complete approximately 50,000 service projects each year. By 2008, Hands On Network intends to galvanize and inspire millions of Americans to volunteer and to recruit and activate 100,000 Volunteer Leaders who can lead others in meaningful change.
