HandsOn Network partners with nonprofit and government agencies to provide compelling volunteer opportunities and to effectively utilize the talents of people who serve. As the country's leading volunteer organization, HandsOn offers training, resources, and networking opportunities that equip agencies to engage volunteers in meaningful service.

HandsOn and University of Phoenix are partnering to provide best-in-class e-learning offerings in volunteer training and management. We are working toward 30 online learning courses for individuals, businesses, and nonprofits/governments. For managers of volunteers in nonprofit/government agencies, the courses will align with the CVA (Certification in Volunteer Administration) core competencies to support you in earning your credentials.

The Bonner Office of Community Service and Student Development at Spellman College recently developed a new training series with our community partners and students in mind. HandsOn Network's training department presented quality training on volunteer and project management, civic engagement, and leadership, and we appreciate the team working with us to develop a curriculum that met the specific needs of our various audiences.
