Volunteering as a Company


HandsOn San Diego’s mission to strengthen our communities through volunteer action. We want to make it easy and convenient for you and your team to make an impact in our local community.

As a proud member of the Points of Light Global Network, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteerism and civic engagement, we combine local expertise with global best practices to create high-quality volunteer experiences that benefit both businesses and communities.

Through the Points of Light Global Network, HandsOn San Diego is connected to a worldwide movement advancing volunteerism and civic engagement across more than 30 years and 39 countries.

This means your company benefits from:

  • Deep local community knowledge
  • Proven volunteer engagement strategies
  • Reliable project coordination and support
  • High-quality volunteer experiences
  • Opportunities designed for sustainable community impact

We have several ways that our business community members can get involved:

Business Membership Program

  • This program is ideal for businesses who need help implementing, managing, and tracking an employee volunteer program.

  • Your employees will have the flexibility to volunteer at the projects they are passionate about at scheduled opportunities in the community.

Custom Volunteer Projects

  • These projects are generally one-time or annual projects taken on by teams to volunteer together.

  • Projects range from beautifying a park to packing hygiene kits at a conference. We work with you to find a project that will help foster teamwork and make a positive sustainable impact on our community.

Organization Sponsorships

  • Becoming a sponsor will give your company access to our network of over 31k civically engaged do-gooders and the community based organizations we partner with.

  • You will help expand volunteerism community by making it easier for low-income families, military families, students, and service groups to volunteers. You will gain visibility amongst our dedicated volunteers through social media posts, newsletter spotlights, and other outreach channels.

Event Sponsorships

  • VolunBEERS is our fundraising event where you have the opportunity to support HOSD and give back to our local community through volunteer service, while enjoying the best beer San Diego has to offer! It’s a fun and social way to work together to benefit a local cause.

  • Each year, HOSD hosts an annual volunteer appreciation event called VolunCHEERS. We invite our nonprofit partners to nominate an exemplary volunteer to be recognized and invite our volunteer leaders, committee members, and donors to show our appreciation.
