About Hands On Birmingham

Hands On Birmingham (HOB) is a valuable resource to
nonprofit agencies, schools, and neighborhood
associations as well as ANYONE looking for a place
to serve. HOB is a Birmingham-based nonprofit
organization that makes it easy for busy people to
volunteer. The majority of Hands On Birmingham�s
service opportunities are held after traditional
business hours or on the weekends. Established in
1998, Hands On Birmingham is a member of Hands On
Network. Hands On Network is currently made up of
58 national and international volunteer organizations.

Our Story

Hands On Birmingham, Inc. is an Alabama not-for-profit
corporation committed to providing flexible, hands-on
volunteer opportunities for individuals whose work and
life challenges prohibit their active involvement in
traditional volunteer programs. HOB is a tax-exempt
organization founded in August 1998 by a group of young
professionals who believe that the keys to strengthening
the Birmingham community are:

� Serving others

� Meeting the needs of the less fortunate

� Creating a large, diverse force of volunteers

� Developing citizen leaders to assume a more prominent
role in the volunteer community

� Solving existing problems rather than merely complaining
about them Hands On Birmingham has a three-prong strategy
for encouraging volunteerism in Birmingham: (1) emailing a
volunteer calendar containing a description of worthwhile,
hands-on projects for working adults, families, and
corporations that mostly occur after conventional work hours
and on weekends; (2) involve corporations in
employer-sponsored, team-building group volunteer projects;
and (3) sponsor an annual Hands On Birmingham Days to bring
together thousands of volunteers from all over Birmingham in
a day of service to others.
