On Saturday, Oct. 5, Hands on Atlanta will ignite a passion for volunteerism throughout the community with its annual day of service -- known as Hands on Atlanta Day 2013. In addition to the 63 events going on throughout the city, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed will be “hands on” at the following locations:
- Boyd Elementary School, 1891 Johnson Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318
- Covenant House of Georgia, 1559 Johnson Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 (A Delta Airlines Event)
- Friends of English Avenue, 550 Lindsay Street, Atlanta, GA 30314
Under this year's theme of "I Left My Mark", volunteers will work on projects at schools, parks, and non-profits doing work ranging from building restoration to tutoring to landscaping to mentoring. For the first time, this year there will also be a video contest to allow volunteers to show how they are actively leaving their mark on Atlanta. The best entries will be shown on handsonatlanta.organd social media pages.
