Community Service Activities for Matches
Participate in Kids Care! Kids are eager and excited to give to others, but it can sometimes be difficult to find age appropriate volunteer activities for children.

Each month's project will involve an age-appropriate learning component and a hands-on activity geared toward caring for the community. This project is appropriate for youth 5-12 years old. Bigs or parents... visit www.handsonasheville.org, click on "Projects" in the left menu, then click on "Kids Care" to see more info about each month's activity.

You will need to sign up ahead of time and bring a waiver with you that is signed by the parent/ guardian.
