T H A N K  Y O U  E V E R Y O N E !

To all of our volunteers from April 26th, THANK YOU. You worked hard to improve the learning conditions in 27 schools across the district.

To all of the people and organizations that gave money to support our work and mission, THANK YOU. We had a record fundraising year and we will continue to use these funds to do good for students and schools.

To all of the friends, co-workers and family members that supported our volunteers throughout the year and especially last weekend, THANK YOU. We could not have accomplished half of our successes without your help, understanding, support, and love.

To the teachers and officials of the DC Public School System, THANK YOU. We appreciate everything you do to teach and nurture our students.

And to the all of the students, THANK YOU. Hands on DC is dedicated to helping you succeed. We hope that our work helps you do your work better.


Hands on DC is an all-volunteer project that creates better schools and brighter futures for students in the District of Columbia. Thousands of volunteers have a great time each spring as they join together for a one-day work-a-thon that improves conditions in the public schools and raises money for college scholarships. Since 1994 more than 26,000 volunteers have created a better environment for learning in over 120 schools and have collected more than $500,000 to help local students pay for further education.
