Hands On Portland has upgraded their website to a new system that will make it easier for you to connect to well-organized, meaningful volunteer opportunities that match your schedule and interests.

This new site represents the next evolution in online social engagement. Built on a dynamic platform, it will make your online experience with them more productive, fun and engaging. As it first goes live, they anticipate some bugs and usability issues typical of new websites. Please know that they will be working diligently to address issues as they arise.

Ultimately, the new Hands On website will give you more control in finding the information that’s important to you through a sophisticated search function. You will have an increased ability to find opportunities that match your schedule and interests. You can create volunteer teams for your friends, family, co-workers, fellow students or club members and more. You can also manage your projects, track your volunteer history and share your stories.

If you are a current volunteer with Hands On Greater Portland, you already have an account in the new system under the same username you had before (your email address). You will have to create a new password using the “forgot password” link. If you don’t have an account yet, go to the registration page. After signing in, you will be asked to list your skills and interests to best match you with volunteer opportunities.

Hands On Portland hopes that you enjoy the new features of their website. If you have any questions or concerns, please check out their FAQ page. If you don’t find your answer there, feel free to contact them at info@handsonportland.org.
