Ever wonder how Hands On Hartford does so much for the community? With help from caring volunteers like you, we help individuals facing poverty every day.

We have a variety of volunteer opportunities for all skill levels and interests. While most of our opportunities happen during the week, we do host occasional weekend and holiday events that require help from volunteers. Please view our current listing of volunteer opportunities for the general description of regular opportunities.

If you’re interested in volunteering for any of our programs or for a specific event, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 860-706-1522. Please note that opportunities fill up quickly. If you are looking to fulfill required community service hours for school or court, please contact us well in advance of community service deadlines.

By volunteering with Hands On Hartford, you are joining a group of over 2,000 dedicated individuals each year who get hands on and make a difference in our community!
