Get involved

Youth

Hands4Hope includes community service and service-learning, school-based clubs, and youth leadership, giving youth of all ages the power to decide their level of involvement.  We also offer many opportunities for parents and interested adults in the community to get involved! Learn more about who we are and what we offer.

Step 1: Register as a Hands4Hope Participant.  ​

Step 2: You'll receive an email confirmation within 2 business days (Monday through Thursday, excluding holidays) after you've registered along with further instructions.

Step 3: Pay registration fee*. This only applies to any youth participating in Hands4Hope activities outside school-based programs. Note: youth with parents/guardians who are Adult Leads/Mentors can have this fee waived. 

*An annual registration fee of $30 applies to all youth participants in Hands4Hope activities outside of our school-based programs (e.g. outreaches, committee projects, etc.). The annual registration fee is due June 1st of every year. Read more about the registration fee.

Adults
Adults - Working with youth

Here are some ways for adults to participate that involve working with youth:

​

  • Participate in an Outreach Opportunity with your child or even better, as a family! Note: all elementary aged children are required to have a parent/guardian with them while they participate in an outreach opportunity or event. That parent/guardian must register and sign up for events with their children.

  • Become an Adult Lead or Adult Mentor. Adults provide essential guidance at Outreach Opportunities and Events to ensure safety and a valuable experience for youth participants, and guide youth in after-school Hands4Hope Committees. Adults can take on these roles with or without their own children.

Adults - other ways to get involved

While we are a youth-led and youth-focused organization, it takes many adults to provide organizational vision, guidance, and ensure the sustainability and success of Hands4Hope for years to come.  
 

  • Join our Endless Summer Beach Party Committee (e.g. event planning, auction, decoration, and more)

  • Join a geographic-based Steering Committee

  • Join the Board of Directors

  • Provide subject-matter expertise (e.g. technical assistance, videography instruction)

  • Provide your unique ideas, talents and expertise

  • Help your business become a sponsor
