The Forsyth County Community Connection is home to Hands On Forsyth, a volunteer recruitment initiative. Across the state, Hands On Georgia and its affiliates promote the power of service - how it weaves together communities, supports vital nonprofit organizations and transforms both those serving and those being served. Hands On Forsyth encourages people to do good things and also to reflect on the reasons why those good things need to be done. While volunteering empowers people in communities to improve the quality of life for all, it also develops more informed and inspired citizens.
Hands On Forsyth calls upon the citizens of our county to help tackle tough issues in our community through volunteer service and engaged citizenship. We need strong civic participation from our residents in order to make our schools work effectively, to keep our environment healthy, to nurture children whose family support has broken down, and to bring Georgia’s citizens together across divisions of region, race, and economic lifestyle through the common platform of service.
