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!

Deadline: Email or fax to your Regional Program Manager by August 15th

REFLECTION
This reflection is required for all Season of Service Projects between Sept. 1 to Oct. 1. All volunteers are aware that these projects are part of Season of Service and are being dedicated to those who lost their lives on 9/11. The commemoration should be read at the beginning of each project by the project leader and reflection incorporated into the closing of the project. Read more about the Season of Service here.
