We recently spent some time with Eula Spivey, a teacher at Fairington Elementary School and 2021 Hands On Atlanta Civic Fellow, to learn more about her commitment to her students and the community she’s impacted for the last 32 years.

I like the freedom to volunteer around my schedule and volunteering with Hands On Atlanta and the American Red Cross let me give back when I’m available. Between work and travel, there are always events that I can participate in. I also like the people I volunteer with! I enjoy seeing the the regulars that volunteer often and the new people I meet at each event.

I have been involved with 48in48 for the past 6 years in multiple capacities, it’s become my passion project. The organization brings together volunteers who excel in digital marketing and technology to build free websites for many deserving nonprofits in a 48-hour “hack-a-thon.”
