If you're looking to take on a leadership role, Hands On Nashville has several opportunities for you:

Teen Only Project (TOP) Coordinator:
Hands On Nashville understands that volunteering can be intimidating for teens, especially if you think you are going to be the only young person. Therefore, HON aims to provide teens with two to five Teen Only Projects (TOP) each month so that you can volunteer with your friends and peers. HON is currently looking for teens who would like to become TOP Coordinators. You will be expected to attend a one-hour training in addition to co-manage a Teen Only Project. As a TOP Coordinator you will be expected to lead one project each month (most likely a reoccurring project). The commitment is only once a month and we can make sure the projects fit your schedule. For more information, contact Dan at Dan@hon.org.

Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC)
Would you like to help work towards developing new teen friendly projects? Do you have a strong desire to lead other teenagers towards making a difference in their community? Then perhaps the Youth Volunteer Corps is for you! If you are interested in sitting on this council, which works closely with the Hands On Nashville staff, then please contact Dan at Dan@hon.org.
