School Community Service Volunteering
If you have community service hours to complete, here are the ways Hands On Greater Portland can assist you - we have found the following guidelines to be helpful:
Contact Agencies Directly
We recommend you work directly with an agency where you can work repeatedly, or for longer shifts depending on the hours you need to complete. Check the list of organizations below and then contact them to see if they have available opportunities. You may also browse all our nonprofit partners through our Partner Directory.
Keep in mind: if you set up projects with an agency directly, they will be responsible for the final verification of your service.
We do not provide any documentation of hours volunteered with a Hands On letterhead. If this is a requirement for you, you will need to obtain it directly from the nonprofit where you fulfill your hours.
Explain why you are Volunteering
We have a few community partners who may be able to support your need for community service hours:
