Hands On Nashville offers two ways to help recruit volunteers: our community partner program and a self-serve posting option for our opportunity calendar. Organizations with intermittent or one-time volunteer needs may find our self-serve option beneficial.

For community partners, Hands On Nashville builds capacity by providing volunteer management strategy, consulting, technology and recruitment. Specific benefits include:

• Technology: Post, manage and track volunteer opportunities via the online opportunity calendar at HON.org, which is accessed by nearly 11,000 unique visitors per month.
• Marketing and exposure: Increased visibility of volunteer events, in-kind donations and court-ordered referral needs via HON's website, social media and newsletter.
• Volunteer management support: Volunteer program troubleshooting, brainstorming, technical training and community partner consulting sessions led by HON's volunteer management experts.
