Better Schools, Brighter Futures

Hands on DC is an all-volunteer project that creates better schools and brighter futures for students in the District of Columbia. Thousands of volunteers have a great time each spring as they join together for a one-day work-a-thon that improves conditions in the public schools and raises money for college scholarships. Since 1995 more than 19,000 volunteers have created a better environment for learning in over 100 schools and have collected more than $400,000 to help local students pay for further education.

"Better Schools, Brighter Futures," the award-winning Hands on DC video, showcases the annual work-a-thon, including some of Hands on DC's most well-known supporters. The video is an honest look at the hard work and sacrifice that goes into making Hands on DC a success, but more importantly it also shows some of the rewards. The looks on the faces of the kids as they come back into school after the work-a-thon - something many volunteers never see - will surely help you understand how important Hands on DC is.
