About

Our team members have planned, managed and led thousands of volunteer projects that have helped over 300 non-profit organizations, Title 1 public schools and parks.

Projects have engaged more than 225,000 participants from all 50 States and 60 countries.

Volunteer Orlando's CEO, Chris Allen, founded Hands On Orlando in 1999, and it grew from an ambitious idea to a volunteer powerhouse. It was a national role model for civic engagement for a generation.

Today, Volunteer Orlando improves the quality of life of people who live, play, learn and work in Orlando and Central Florida through volunteer action.

Our impact is a great upon volunteers and their connected groups and companies as it is the people and organizations we help.

Volunteers learn about community issues, realize and activate their super powers to make the world a better place.

Projects welcome everyone. Volunteers with special skills are able to leverage their time and talents to multiply their positive impact.

Our Secret Sauce

We love to do the heavy lifting for companies, groups and our nonprofit partners.

Volunteer Orlando plans and manages all projects to ensure better outcomes, and is not a referral service. We also coordinate, attend and lead every project.

Projects are authentic. Participants buy-in because they can help a child, mom - someone or some place, like a shelter, public school or park that needs their help.

Project budgets are reasonable, too.

We work with companies and groups that meet or do business across Central Florida (Orlando, Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista, Lake Mary, Daytona Beach).

Groups and companies meeting in Tampa, St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, and Lakeland should contact Volunteer Tampa Bay.
