About Us
Organization
Hands on DC is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that conducts an annual citywide work-a-thon to improve the physical condition of Washington, DC public schools, raises funds to support local college scholarship programs, and encourages greater community involvement in the public schools. Hands on DC is volunteer-founded and volunteer-led; we have no paid staff. Instead, two main bodies undertake the group's work:
- The Organizing Committee focuses on planning, developing, and executing the annual work-a-thon. To accomplish that task, the group forms committees responsible for volunteer recruitment, community outreach and publicity, fundraising and sponsorship development, and coordination of school projects.
- The Executive Committee is composed of the chairs of these committees, along with the Event Co-Directors and the organization's Treasurer. The Executive Committee oversees the work of the Organizing Committee.
