Hands On Atlanta also manages the largest AmeriCorps program in the Southeast with 145 members. Hands On Atlanta AmeriCorps members serve as teaching assistants, tutors, mentors and volunteer coordinators at 20 elementary schools in the Atlanta metro area. In conjunction with hands-on volunteer projects, programs such as Citizen Academy and TeamWorks provide volunteers with opportunities to share experiences and learn more about problems facing the Atlanta community.

Volunteer Leadership

Volunteers play a large role in Hands On Atlanta's structure and organizational direction. Each project listed in The Citizen is coordinated by a volunteer Project Coordinator. Project Coordinators serve as liaisons between Hands On Atlanta and the community partner agencies. They recruit and communicate with volunteers and ensure the success of the project. Volunteers also serve on committees to help develop and coordinate Hands On Atlanta's special events and to assist with public relations and fundraising efforts.
