About the Organization
Hands on DC is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that conducts an annual citywide work-a-thon to improve the physical condition of Washington, DC public schools, raises funds to support local college scholarship programs, and encourages greater community involvement in the public schools.

About the Project
Every year Hands on DC completes hundreds of projects in more than 30 different schools throughout DC. Below are a only a small set of the various projects complete every year.

* Wiring computers for Internet connectivity. About a dozen volunteers wired a computer lab at an elementary school to provide Internet access for students, and performed basic maintenance and configuration on another 50 computers that were donated to the school.
* Helping a football team paint the locker room. The high school football team worked with their coach and Hands on DC volunteers to paint the school's locker room.
* Removing graffiti. Volunteers sprayed, scraped and scrubbed graffiti from walls at a number of local schools.
* Building flower boxes. Volunteers at a high school constructed wooden planters for the school grounds.
* Refinishing doors. A carpenter worked with students and volunteers to power-sand and apply varnish to school doors at a middle school.
* Expanding a playground. Carpenters along with volunteers added a sandbox and benches to an elementary school
