TIMELINE & RESOURCES FOR PROJECT LEADERS
Project Leaders are the foundation of the HandsOn Bay Area community. They are committed and enthusiastic volunteers who are ready to step forward to share their passion with others. On Be the Change Day, our Project Leaders take on the tasks that ensure that our high-impact projects fuel further volunteer action.

Once your team has been matched to a project site, find a time to visit and see what needs to be done and what tools you'll need. At least one team member should take photos so we can show volunteers the before and after!
