Volunteer Opportunities

How You Can Help

Hands On Park offers a rewarding opportunity for corporate groups, clubs, and individual volunteers to engage in hands-on community service. Located along the shores of Lake Mann in Orlando, the park has been transformed from an overgrown lot into a thriving outdoor learning environment and community gathering place, thanks to the dedication of volunteers.

Volunteering at Hands On Park fosters teamwork, strengthens community connections, and allows participants to make a tangible impact in a dynamic setting.

For corporations, we also offer backpack or care package assembly in your hotel/convention meeting space, which directly benefits school students in the surrounding communities. Please submit our Corporate/Club Volunteering form below to coordinate a date.

We are actively seeking partners—corporations, schools, and community organizations—to collaborate on educational and environmental initiatives. Together, we can make a lasting impact!

Corporate & Club Volunteering

Corporate and club volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing the park, along with contributing to environmental education, community engagement, and urban green space conservation. This experience provides teams the chance to collaborate outdoors while enjoying scenic views of downtown Orlando over Lake Mann.

For corporations not able to travel to the park, we also offer backpack or care package assembly in your hotel/convention meeting space, which directly benefits school students in the surrounding communities.
