Summer is finally here! The kids are home from school, the days are long and it is the perfect time to do a little volunteering. Whether you’re looking for a long-term commitment, or something you can do in an afternoon, we have an opportunity for you.

The HOTC 2013 Summer Volunteer Guide brings you 50-plus volunteering opportunities ranging in category from gardening to youth, sports to education. Each opportunity is organized by theme, and lets you know what to expect and who to contact. In the back of the guide you can find tables indexing the opportunities by location, giving you another way to search the guide.

There are a bunch of youth-friendly opportunities, so you can get the whole family involved! Just look for Lenny (short for “Lend-a-Hand”) to show you which opportunities are family-friendly.

If you connect with an opportunity that you found in the guide, we’d love to know how it went. Send us a review or photo of a volunteer opportunity you learned about from HandsOn, and we’ll feature it on our social media!
