About Us

Hands On Nashville’s mission is to meet community needs through volunteerism. We connect volunteers to critical issues facing the Middle Tennessee community – like hunger, homelessness, and environmental issues – and we’ve been at it for more than 20 years. It all started with one Nashvillian’s desire to find meaningful ways for people to volunteer back in 1991. (Read more about our story here.)

Today, we’re one of the largest volunteer resource centers in the world. In 2012, HON connected or referred 117,500 volunteers to more than 4,000 service opportunities. Offering more than 400 volunteer opportunities to the community each month at HON.org, Hands On Nashville challenges everyone to find a way to give back and to … Be the Change. Volunteer.
