HandsOn Network calls on organizations and businesses to participate in family volunteering by providing opportunities for America's families to help communities create supportive environments for their children and each other.

For nonprofits who engage volunteers, family volunteering can mobilize thousands of new volunteers to meet community needs and instill a lifelong commitment to volunteering in youth. For companies, family volunteering creates a sense of community among employees, provides quality time for families and allows for learning opportunities and positive role modeling for children.
