The Hands On Atlanta AmeriCorps program is an engaging 10-month commitment in which AmeriCorps members impact Atlanta’s most vulnerable youth.

Members serve on a diverse, task-oriented team to provide math and literacy tutoring, social-emotional learning (SEL) coaching, curriculum enrichment, and community engagement to over 1,000 K-8th grade students attending mostly Title I schools across metro Atlanta.

Discovery is an engaging enrichment program which offers STEAM, SEL, and health/wellness activities to nearly 1,000 metro Atlanta’s K-5 youth at Title 1 schools, two Saturdays a month from October - April. During these sessions, students participate in educational activities, connect with peers, and express their creativity. In addition to fun and educational activities, students receive light breakfast bars and take-home snacks at each session.

Our Meals4Kids program aims to provide food to metro Atlanta families facing high levels of food insecurity. We focus on supporting families on the weekends or during extended breaks when schools and local community centers are closed.

The Hands On Atlanta Civic Leadership Program, powered by Constellation, is a leadership development program that engages emerging leaders through workshops, trainings and hands-on learning while supporting the needs of nonprofit agencies across metro Atlanta.

In partnership with the , Hands On Atlanta will support 50 partner agencies through 2023 to help get more food to families in need. We will help by providing capacity for each agency through volunteer management best practices, access to enterprise level software, marketing and outreach, and pro-level account management and customer service - provided by members of our AmeriCorps program - to fully support volunteer engagement. Through this, agencies can more effectively retain repeat volunteers in order to support their mission and distribute more food to their communities.

With Hands On Atlanta, it’s never been easier for nonprofits to recruit and manage volunteers, raise awareness for your organization or event, and increase the ability for you to do more good. Hands On Partner Services provides the resources, technology and subject matter expertise to grow volunteer programming and engagement across metro Atlanta.
