Volunteering done differently
At All Hands and Hearts, we believe that every individual should have the chance to volunteer through our free and open door approach. We believe in giving back without limitations. Whether you are 18 or 80, worked your whole life in construction or have never touched a power tool, you are always welcome. We believe in the strength of diversity. And no matter your race, religion, national origin, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age, we believe that, together, we can make a difference.

Three great reasons
1
|
Get involved in helping communities recover after a natural disaster. If you have spare time and a willingness to help, you can make a difference in bringing individuals and families return to their homes and classrooms after the disaster. |
2
|
Immerse yourself in a multicultural and multigenerational community. Whether you’re in the dorm room or the board room, leadership begins with service. During your time as a volunteer, you will meet volunteers from all over the world with different cultures, ages and backgrounds! |

|
Learn new skills. As a volunteer, you will work alongside your teammates, learning valuable skills, including construction. By the end of your time on program, you’ll be able to return home having learned something new. |
In the wake of any natural disaster, it’s volunteers like you who shine a bright light on affected communities. We can’t do what we do without volunteers like you, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to join us on a program today!
