Volunteer Engagement Committee

Are you passionate about event planning, community building, or volunteer engagement? HandsOn San Diego (HOSD) is inviting dynamic and motivated individuals to join our Volunteer Engagement Committee! This group plays a key role in creating and coordinating our signature events—VolunBEERS and VolunCHEERS—which strengthen community connections and celebrate volunteerism across San Diego.

VolunBEERS is a quarterly service project hosted at local breweries or restaurants, where up to 100 volunteers gather to complete hands-on projects for local nonprofits—all while enjoying good company and craft drinks. The committee collaborates year-round to identify impactful service projects, coordinate with venues, solicit donations and sponsorships, and ensure a rewarding volunteer experience.

VolunCHEERS is our annual volunteer appreciation celebration, held each April during Global Volunteer Month. Planning begins in the fall and involves coordinating logistics, securing donations, and creating a fun and meaningful recognition event.

Committee members commit approximately 3–6 hours per month for at least six months. We meet monthly—typically at local breweries or via Google Meet—and collaborate regularly online. As a committee member, you'll gain hands-on experience in event planning, fundraising, volunteer engagement, and community partnership development.

If you're excited to build connections, give back in creative ways, and help shape memorable volunteer events, we encourage you to apply!
