The Hands On Atlanta Discovery program is a volunteer-led Saturday tutoring and enrichment program. The two-hour session occurs twice a month from 10am to 12pm. The program reinforces weekday learning through academic assistance, educational games, service-learning projects, and other enrichment activities. Volunteers who speak Spanish are especially needed. Students are engaged in a variety of subjects depending on the needs of their particular schools. Our goal is to have a one-on-one volunteer to student ratio, allowing for individualized attention and the building of relationships between students and volunteers.

Keep North Fulton Beautiful

Friday, October 11 From 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM (Sandy Springs)

Storm drain markers are an important way of informing the public not to dump oil, trash, paint, or other pollutants into roadside storm drains. Volunteers with the storm drain marking program affix specially designed labels to storm drains in neighborhoods, using provided materials. The labels warn residents that everything that enters a storm drain flows untreated into a nearby waterway. Volunteers will need one car for every 2-4 volunteers to complete this project. The opportunity for volunteers to assist with sorting recycling materials and general operation of the recycling center would still be open as well.
