Without leaders, Hands On Charlotte would not be able to create and implement our programs. With your help, we are able to make a real difference in Charlotte.
What is Involved in Being a Leader?
Hands On Charlotte staffs most of its volunteer projects with a volunteer leader, also known as a Project Coordinator (PC). These volunteer leaders provide organization and leadership for the service project and management and motivation for the volunteers. The PC attends the project, keeps track of volunteer attendance, and serves as a liaison between Hands On Charlotte and our partner agency. Most projects require very little time outside of the project for planning or administrative tasks.
