Coming Together For A Better Tomorrow
About HandsOn South Florida
For 50 years, our organization has been on the frontlines of kindness, mobilizing people to create meaningful impact for South Florida communities. From our inception in 1974 as a small volunteer center called Volunteer Broward, we have always believed in putting people at the center of change, and that every single individual has the power to make a difference.
Over the years our organization grew, and with support from the Children’s Services Council of Broward County, we adopted a hands-on service model and became HandsOn Broward in 2010. By 2013, we opened our HandsOn Miami location and now, as we enter our 50th year of inspiring service and civic engagement, we are proud to be bringing both organizations together as we launch HandsOn South Florida.
Our Mission
HandsOn South Florida empowers people to make a difference for causes they care about. By leveraging the power of people and socially responsible businesses, we transform local communities through meaningful hands-on service projects.
HandsOn South Florida mobilizes thousands of people each year to revitalize schools, parks, playgrounds, nonprofits and neighborhoods. Our volunteers create art in public spaces, build sustainable gardens, teach financial literacy, respond to disasters and work to protect the environment. Opportunities to make an impact are available year-round on a daily basis to people of all ages.
