We believe that volunteering is a fun and meaningful way to spend quality time together as a family while teaching children the importance of service to others. Most Hands On San Diego projects are  "family friendly," providing children as young as 5 with the opportunity to make a difference.

There are two ways to participate in Hands On San Diego:

EITHER
Select a project from the HOSD database and join or form a team with your family (and perhaps some family friends) to make it happen:

OR
Register to participate in one of the "signature events" organized by Volunteer San Diego at the following locations:
Mission Bay Youth Fields in San Diego (Sun. Sept. 17)
Casey's Place in San Carlos (Sun. Sept. 17) - special project here for ages 5-13
Mission Bay Park in San Diego (Sat. Sept. 23) - special project here for ages 5-13
North Santa Fe Corridor in Vista (Sat. Sept. 23)


Please note: Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to participate without a parent or legal guardian present. All volunteers under the age of 18, whether accompanied by a legal guardian or not, must bring a signed Waiver of Liability to the project. Volunteers without this waiver will be turned away.
