Get Started on Volunteering!
Take action to make a difference in your community.
HandsOn Bay Area (HOBA) is working to remove the barriers that keep people from taking action in their community. Our unique volunteer program makes it easy to get involved and network with others who are passionate about making a difference.
What is so unique about HOBA's volunteer program?
- We've done the foot-work for you by finding and scheduling high-impact projects at nonprofits, parks and schools that need your help. Choose from over 100 opportunities a month!
- You won't be on your own. Our projects are group-based, so you'll be working alongside other volunteers from HOBA.
- HOBA projects occur on weekday evenings and weekends to accommodate busy schedules.
- Aside from a brief online orientation, you do not need to attend any in-person training or orientation before you get started.
- You don't have to make a long-term commitment. (We do ask that you only sign up for those projects you intend on attending. Our projects are in high-demand!)
- Every HOBA project will be led by a trained HOBA Project Leader who will serve as your contact in case you have questions before, during and after your project.

Change of Plans?
Did you know that 20% of our volunteer slots are filled up by people who never show up? We understand that plans change. Keeping us posted on whether you can attend your project is an easy way to help us make a 20% bigger impact in the community.
When you find out that you cannot attend a volunteer event it is very important to do two things:
- Let the project leader know that you cannot attend the project. His or her contact info will be in the email you received confirming your project registration.
- Remove yourself from the project, so someone else can sign up to take your place. It’s easy. Just login. Click on “My Projects.” Click “Remove me.”
