HandsOn University Online
Overview
HandsOn University Online is a web-based learning community for individuals, nonprofit and government organizations, and businesses seeking to improve their capacity to effectively engage others in service. HandsOn University provides e-learning courses for three core audiences:
Service Leaders: Volunteers who lead projects or service activities will be able to work towards earning certification. We offer both individual courses and certificate programs in the core areas of volunteer recruitment, project development, large scale project management and leading volunteers in reflection. See the Program Catalog tab for more information.
Nonprofit and Government Organizations: We offer advanced training and a certificate to staff of nonprofit and government organizations whose key function is managing the organizations’ volunteer resources. For managers of volunteers in these types of agencies, our courses are consistent with the core competencies upon which the CVA (Certified in Volunteer Administration) credential is based.
Businesses: Employee Volunteer Program managers seeking to improve the impact, scale, and effectiveness of their company’s volunteer programming are offered learning opportunities, webinars and ongoing training to help them to achieve their goals.

*** Please note that certificates are only awarded for the completion of a Service Leader Certificate Program or the Service Leader Network programs and not the individual free courses.***
