Hands On Atlanta is thrilled to announce the 11th Class of Civic Fellows! 28 dynamic changemakers were recently accepted into our Civic Leadership Program! Over the next 12 months, this class of Fellows will manage service projects at designated nonprofit partner sites by recruiting, engaging, and teaching volunteers about the critical issue; their service project is addressing. The Fellows will be guided by Hands On Atlanta staff who will provide training in volunteer and project management, leadership, and fundraising.
What is the Civic Leadership Program?
The Hands On Atlanta Civic Leadership Program, powered by Constellation, trains volunteers while supporting the needs of nonprofit agencies. Participants begin as Civic Fellows and become Civic Leaders through ongoing leadership training and mentoring provided by Hands On Atlanta staff, alumni and partners.
