Our Vision:One day every person will discover their power to make a difference,creating healthy communities in vibrant democracies around the world.

Our Mission:We inspire, equip, and mobilizepeople to take action that changes the world.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Notice something new? Fresh look, updated colors, new messaging—but that’s not all.

This Report to the Community covers our achievements and financial information for 2007,

but, given the significance of 2008 to our organization, we decided to take this opportunity to

create a bridge report to inform our friends and supporters of some very exciting news.

During 2008 we have been celebrating our 35th birthday, and what better way to observe an

important anniversary than to celebrate the culmination of an organizational transformation

that has been quietly occurring over the past few years in the way we do our business.

Once upon a time, Volunteer Jacksonville served as a clearinghouse for volunteers. We were a

place where individuals could find opportunities to serve the community and where nonprofit

organizations could gain assistance in locating volunteers for their programs. And we provided

capacity building training and services to organizations and individuals who wanted to make a

difference through volunteering. We looked at ourselves as having a “BASF-mission”—we don’t

make a whole lot of the things you see, we make a whole lot of the things you see better.

Well, times have changed, volunteers have changed, and the needs of our community have

changed. And Volunteer Jacksonville has also changed. We have evolved and that evolution

will now become known as HandsOn Jacksonville. In addition to the roles of clearinghouse,

knowledge leader, and convener we now have other promises to keep. And those promises are

so important that they overshadow everything else we do and mandate the name change to the

proactive, action-oriented, refreshed and updated HandsOn Jacksonville.

At the heart of our work is this core belief—by any measure, a successful life includes service

to others. We believe that it is through people that change happens in our world and our

community, and we believe that people are ready to be invited into the lifelong journey of

service. So please join with me as we at HandsOn Jacksonville harness the passion, skills, and

energy of people to solve problems, alter perspectives, and create a different set of possibilities.

Be the change.

“Volunteeringsimply contributes to the feeling thatI am a useful citizen.”

About our Disaster Programs and Services

Volunteer Reception Center ~ funded in part by a City of

Jacksonville Public Service Grant.

A major disaster can quickly overwhelm the capacity of local

response organizations. Thankfully, volunteers do come running

to help – hundreds or even thousands of them. What they do

and how they are utilized has tremendous impact on how

quickly and effectively the community recovers. Many of these

people have urgently needed skills, training or experience and

should be dispatched to where they can be of the most help.

HandsOn Jacksonville has developed and tested a plan to

effectively manage unaffiliated volunteers. In the event of a

disaster, we will activate a Volunteer Reception Center to help

ensure that the skills and talents of these volunteers are

matched to areas of critical need.

Neighbors to the Rescue, originally a grassroots,

volunteer-based program of the Florida Hurricane Relief Fund,

is now a Virtual Warehouse that is housed at HandsOn

Jacksonville. Concerned citizens can donate items and virtually

store them on the site until they are needed by families who

have experienced a personal or local disaster.

The Northeast Florida VOAD (Voluntary Organizations

Active in Disaster) is organized, in partnership with the

American Red Cross, to strengthen the response to disaster

through communication, collaboration, cooperation and

coordination. VOAD has representation from more than 40

partner agencies that have created and continuously update

a long-term disaster recovery plan for Jacksonville and the

surrounding areas.

About The Hope Fund

The Hope Fund is a collaborative effort between Volunteer

Jacksonville, The University of North Florida and The Florida

Times-Union. Participating agencies provide information on

the circumstances and special needs of selected clients and

UNF journalism students write articles about these clients and

their particular situations that run as front-page features in The

Times-Union between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Times

Union also offers editorial commentary telling readers how they

can support the Hope Fund with contributions. 100% of all

Hope Fund donations are divided among the participating

organizations that then purchase goods and services needed.

Page 4: HandsOn Jacksonville's 2007-08 Annual Report to the Community

Be the Change.WE INSPIRE people to serve and embrace their abilities to be the change through our multimedia outreach

and our annual Celebration of Service.

Each April the nation celebrates National Volunteer Week. In Jacksonville, our Mayor proclaims the entire month of April as

Volunteer Appreciation Month, as does Florida’s governor across the state.

About Celebration of Service

During the month of April, HandsOn Jacksonville holds one of our premier events, Celebration of Service, to honor our

community’s most outstanding agents of change and promote their good works to inspire others to follow their lead.

This black-tie event takes place at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, with the VIP reception in the Uible marquee

overlooking the river. Many of the city’s most prestigious restaurants volunteer an abundance of delicacies and the well-

dressed guests drift from one to the other, sampling a veritable feast. Then as the sun sets and the city lights come up, the

group gathers in the Moran Theatre for the volunteer awards presentation.

About our Community Outreach

All year long, HandsOn Jacksonville promotes and encourages people to be the change. We provide opportunities to make a

difference in our community. We utilize media partners, and our own HandsOnJacksonville.org Web site to spread the word

and make it easy for people to take action that transforms our community and themselves.

According to the Jacksonville Community Council Inc. 2007 Community Progress Report, an amazing 65% of our citizens

volunteer their time. Based on these figures and our population of 1.3 million, more than 845,000 people volunteered in 2007,

and of these 219,700 volunteered a minimum of 364 hours per year. Calculating one hour per month for 74% of the volunteers

and 7 hours per week for 26%, the value of area volunteer work is $1.7 billion.

“We are made up of what we do and how we act in the world.”

Page 5: HandsOn Jacksonville's 2007-08 Annual Report to the Community

WE MOBILIZE people to take action and make a positive impact on our community. HandsOn Jacksonville

is expanding opportunities for people to be the change they wish to see in their world through a variety of community-wide

volunteer projects and events. Most of the projects are created through longstanding partnerships with our community’s

schools and nonprofit agencies.

We believe that it is through people that change happens in the world. To make it easy and convenient for people to take

action, HandsOn Jacksonville offers opportunities in a number of ways. We mobilize people through volunteer projects that

we manage ourselves, offer a continuously updated interactive Web site, do media outreach and happily take old-fashioned

phone referrals. Our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to make a positive impact through projects that target

Jacksonville’s key problem areas, so that our residents can be the change our city needs.

About our HandsOn Projects ~ funded by United Way of Northeast Florida

HandsOn Projects has become the nerve center of everything we do. As an affiliate of the HandsOn Network, our projects

are designed from their successful model that brings people together to tackle community problems through volunteer

service, encouraging everyone to “be the change” in their communities. It’s as easy as going to our Web site and signing up

to participate in a project. Our project leaders take care of all of the details from there, from driving directions to checking

off the supply list to where to park, and keeping volunteers informed every step of the way.

About A Visit from Saint Nicholas

A Visit from Saint Nicholas is a celebration that rallies the community around the needs of students in “challenged”

elementary schools. Its goal is to promote literacy, but any HandsOn Jacksonville volunteer will tell you that its real success

lies in the fact that the day simply cannot be matched for fun.

On the first Friday morning in December, thousands of children in select elementary schools arrive to find their doors and

hallways covered in gold tinsel. As they enter their classrooms, curiosity turns to sheer excitement. At each desk is a colorful

backpack filled with books and toys. Finally, the students get to listen to a story that celebrates the life of Nicholas, a story

based on a European tradition that celebrates anonymous giving. Typically 70% or more of the children in these schools

are on a free or subsidized lunch plan. This makes the impact of our Nicholas event all the greater, and HandsOn Jacksonville

is making it easier than ever for people who care to share in that.

“Just find yourpiece of it.”

Page 6: HandsOn Jacksonville's 2007-08 Annual Report to the Community

WE EQUIP people by providing service opportunities, building capacity and providing support services

for individuals and organizations that need or provide volunteer resources. HandsOn Jacksonville equips people to be

the positive change our city needs through its training and support of nonprofit agencies in the effective use of their

volunteer resources, training of diverse groups of leaders to effectively serve on nonprofit boards of directors,

and consulting with groups on board leadership. HandsOn Jacksonville also educates and trains people in the staffing

and operation of a Volunteer Reception Center to manage unaffiliated volunteers during a disaster, and we raise

funds and provide programming to supply low-income families and schools with necessities.

About Blueprint for Leadership

Blueprint for Leadership is a community leadership training program designed to identify, recruit, train and place community

leaders on nonprofit boards and other governing or advisory bodies in Jacksonville. Blueprint for Leadership participants are

a diverse representation of our population, with the majority of the class representing those in the minority.

Blueprint for Leadership offers six full-day training classes involving leadership topics, class discussion and group exercises.

These classes are held the first Wednesday of each month, January through May. In June, the class creates and executes its

own volunteer project and celebrates its success at a graduation ceremony. Following graduation, each participant is given

the opportunity to experience an effective nonprofit board in action through a one-year internship.

HandsOn Jacksonville also conducts Board Leadership training as scheduled workshops and on a consulting basis. Board

leadership topics include: Roles and Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards, The Nonprofit Board Development Cycle, Nonprofit

Policy Standards and Controls, Understanding Nonprofit Financial Documents, Fundraising for Nonprofit Board Members,

Organizational Self–Assessment and Strategic Planning, Conducting Effective Board Meetings and Board Retreat facilitation.

“Be aware that you are most powerful when working with someone; recognize the powerful bonds of reciprocity.”
