Hands on DC is a community-based non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. It is dedicated to creating better schools and brighter futures for District of Columbia public school students. It helps students by: -Refurbishing schools to create a better environment for learning, which allows the school system to focus on larger maintenance issues; -Raising funds to support local scholarship programs; and -Educating volunteers about public education in the District and the opportunities to become involved in lives of students. Today, Hands on DC continues to create “Brighter Schools and Better Futures” for DC students. Since 1994, more than 30,000 volunteers have created a better environment for learning in more than 130 DC schools and have funded more than $600,000 in college scholarship contributions for DC public school students.
