HandsOn Skills brings together nonprofits in need with volunteers who want to apply their talents and expertise to the common good. Whether you call it volunteer consultancy, pro bono work or simply skills-based volunteering, at its core, HandsOn Skills is a program that helps nonprofits meet their missions by tapping the educational, professional, technical and/or personal skills of volunteers.

HandsOn Skills projects vary in scope and length of commitment. We are currently seeking projects and volunteers in the following areas:

• Computer/Information Technology
• Marketing, Communications & Public Relations
• Training Design & Facilitation
