Volunteer Registration:

Welcome to the new(ish) HOM website.  We have been developing some neat features for launch this summer, but the times call for action.  As such, we just today put up a volunteer registration form.  Please go to "Engagement" to sign up as a volunteer and get listed with our office.  There is a "Comments" section for you to tell us all about yourself, your interests, your skills, your questions, and so forth.  Thanks for your interest in volunteerism, in Hands On Mississippi, and in the issues we face today but answer tomorrow.

OIL SPILL --

Hands On Mississippi is coordinating with local, State, and Federal agencies to monitor the pending Mississippi landfall of oil from the Gulf of Mexico.  Oil spill volunteer opportunities will be posted when made available.  Persons interested in volunteering immediately are encouraged to work with our office on current projects related to green space and blue way management such as debris removal.  Persons also are encouraged to visit the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service www.mcvs.org for oil spill and other disaster updates.

Rededication

Hands On Gulf Coast is now Hands On Mississippi!  Our many years of service since Hurricane Katrina have demonstrated a community need beyond the Gulf Coast and beyond recovery.  It is our honor and privilege to work with our partners and affiliates in expanding service and volunteerism, and we look forward to forging new relationships in the years to come.  We also thank our alumni, volunteers, and partners for forging the path and for creating tangible results through hard work and dedication.

Wanting to learn more?  Please see our About Us section to get in contact with our main office to find out how you, too, can be Hands On.
