2008-2009 Report to the Community

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This Report to the Community documents our first year as HandsOn Jacksonville, after 35 years as Volunteer Jacksonville. What a whirlwind—both internally and externally!

About one month into our HandsOn identity, the economic meltdown conspired to change the landscape of the nonprofit world, just as it shook the for-profit world. The environment was filled with imploding industries. Businesses—large and small, for-profit and nonprofit—

went beyond belt-tightening and cost-cutting, and many simply closed their doors. Government cuts to nonprofit providers went further and deeper; and yet, more people needed the safety nets that our sector provides. Despite the dire circumstances our message of hope, action and change resonated—with our volunteers and with many of our supporters. After the roller coaster ride of 2007, we finished 2008 in the black.

With our brand change came our changed business model. We still provide referral services for people to serve in volunteer opportunities managed by our partner agencies, and we still provide capacity building activities and resources for volunteers and volunteer resource managers. However, we have fully embraced the HandsOn project management model, and in doing so we have moved from providing indirect service to direct service. Rather than simply driving volunteer traffic to agency needs, we work with select partners to create, resource, staff, manage, execute, and evaluate projects involving groups of volunteers—be it a group of two or a group of 200. Some of these projects are open to all community volunteers; some only to specific groups. We focus on three broad areas: education, economy, and environment. Our total number of projects grew from 98 in 2007 to 472 in 2008. Community projects alone for the first eight months of 2009 totaled 334, and we expect to close 2009 with more than 700. Equally important to us, our volunteer satisfaction rate in community projects hovers at 96-98% most months, a far cry from research data reported nationally that claimed one in three volunteer’s experience is such that they vow never to serve again.

We are delighted to document our success over this tumultuous year. We also want you to know that one thing has not changed. We hold to our core belief that a successful life includes service to others. We believe it is through people that change happens in our world, and we believe that people can and will make a difference if they are invited into the process and provided appropriate tools. We can do this. We are the community’s on-ramp for volunteering. Please join us as we harness the passion, skills, and energy of people to solve problems and create new realities.

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 ServiceDuring 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. Volunteers are recognized in a spectacular on-stage presentation with an inspirational video production. The VIP reception includes both a silent and spirited live auction and live entertainment. Many of the city’s most prestigious restaurants volunteer an abundance of delicacies for guests to enjoy.

About our Community OutreachAll year long, HandsOn Jacksonville promotes and encourages people to be the change. We provide opportunities to make a difference in our community. With the help of our media partners, our monthly e-newsletter, our handsonjacksonville.org website, and utilizing social networking opportunities such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube we spread the word and make it easy for people to take action that transforms our community and themselves.

According to the 2008 JCCI Quality of Life Progress Report, an amazing 59% of our citizens reported that they volunteered, down from 65% in 2007; additionally, of those who volunteer, 23% reported that they give more than 7 hours a week; based on this data and our population of 1.3 million, an estimated 767,000 people volunteered in 2008, and of these 176,410 volunteered a minimum of 364 hours per year; calculating one hour per month for 77% of the volunteers and 7 hours per week for 23%, the value of area volunteer work is estimated at $1.25 billion.

According to the Corporation for National and Community Service’s Volunteering in America study and alternate methodology, the Jacksonville rate is 20.7%; based on this data, Jacksonville produced 204,000 volunteers who served 25.8 million hours per year and contributed an estimated annual economic contribution of $502 million.

WE MOBILIZE people to take action and make a positive impact on our community. HandsOn Jacksonville is the on-ramp for volunteering on the First Coast. We believe that it is through people that change happens in the world and we are committed to making it as easy and convenient as possible for people to get connected.

With our partner agencies we create and manage projects that allow people the opportunity to make a positive impact on Jacksonville’s key problem areas. We offer a continuously updated interactive volunteer-matching website where people can select opportunities that are just right for them. Our project leaders take care of all of the details from there from driving directions and checking off the supply list to where to park and keep volunteers informed every step of the way. We also work with civic, church, youth, and employee volunteer groups to develop and implement community service projects.

About A Visit from Saint NicholasOn 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. For many of the children, these are the only books they will have in their homes. Volunteers visit each classroom to read the story that celebrates the life of St. Nicholas, based on a European tradition that celebrates anonymous giving. The highlight of the day is a special visit paid to each classroom by a real-life Saint Nicholas who greets the students and presents them with “kindness coins”. This program which promotes literacy is typically taken to schools where 70% or more of the children are on a free or subsidized lunch plan.

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 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.

Be the Change

About Blueprint for LeadershipBlueprint for Leadership is a 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 sessions 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, or intern with HandsOn Jacksonville as a High-Impact Project Leader.

HandsOn Jacksonville also conducts The Roles and Responsibilities of Nonprofit Boards workshop to equip people to effectively serve on nonprofit boards and offers an individualized board consultation service.

About Our Disaster ProgramIn the event of a major disaster, volunteers do come running to help. What they do and how they are utilized has tremendous impact on how quickly and effectively the community recovers. HandsOn Jacksonville has developed and tested a plan to effectively manage volunteers who are unaffiliated with local response organizations. With the help of a City of Jacksonville Public Service Grant, HandsOn Jacksonville will activate a Volunteer Reception Center to help ensure that the skills and talents of these volunteers are matched to areas of critical need.

About The Hope FundThe Hope Fund is a collaborative effort between HandsOn 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 features in The Florida Times-Union between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Florida Times-Union also offers editorial commentary telling readers how they can support the Hope Fund with contributions. One hundred percent of all Hope Fund donations are divided among the participating organizations that then purchase goods and services as needed.

About Nonprofit MembershipHandsOn Jacksonville offers the following services to our nonprofit members…

Volunteer Project Management: We help create and completely manage volunteer service projects designed to achieve the mission of nonprofit members.

HandsOn Technology (HOT): We train and support nonprofit staff in the use of our web-based volunteer recruitment and management tool, which helps them recruit and manage volunteers, as well as giving them an additional web presence to market their organizations.

Volunteer Management Training Series: Through our comprehensive, state-approved and certified volunteer management series, we provide nonprofit volunteer management professionals the tools they need to maximize the efforts of their organization’s volunteers.

About The Human Race: In partnership with 1st Place Sports and The RITA Foundation, we offer nonprofit agencies the opportunity to participate in this 5K walk/run fundraiser each spring and fall.

About Fazzini’s Coffee & Tea Fundraiser: We have partnered with Fazzini’s Coffee & Tea to provide an opportunity for nonprofit agencies to raise residual income when supporters purchase these products under their accounts.

Our 2008 Impact on the CommunityImperative #1, We Mobilize: We connect and engage people in service that addresses serious social issues. Through our programs and services we make people aware of the issues that face our community, equipping them with hope and tools that empower them to create change.

• We mobilized and led 2,960 volunteers in 472 HOJ-managed projects with 9413 volunteer hours through our hands-on model that targets community problem areas

The value to the community of the hours of volunteer service donated through these HOJ-managed projects is $183,648

The value of project creation and management consulting services for 472 customized projects with 2,960 volunteers is $458,000

• We delivered a very special experience to approximately 9,000 kids in 18 challenged elementary schools that included 27,000 books and 48,000 toys through our signature mega-project, A Visit from St. Nicholas

The value of the St. Nick goods and services to the Duval County School System was in excess of $485,000

The value of the 3,182 hours from our 1,055 St. Nick volunteers was $62,081

• Through our interactive, continuously updated web site, utilizing Hands On Technology, as well as through media outreach and old-fashioned phone referrals, we connected willing volunteers to service opportunities

Over 64,000 unique visits were made to the home page of our web site, and 32,684 unique visits were made to our volunteer matching section of the web site where we and our agencies post and maintain approximately 225 up-to-date volunteer projects during any given month

Of these visitors, there were more than 1047 individual sign-ups to volunteer, giving them an opportunity to change lives through service

Imperative #2, We Equip: We build capacity and provide support services for individuals and organizations that use or provide volunteer resources. Through our programs, as well as our technical training and consulting services, we support and increase the capacity of organizations in two essential ways. We work with volunteer resource managers in nonprofit and government agencies to enable them to more effectively lead their volunteer work force, and we work with people who manage employee volunteer programs in organizations that provide volunteer power to the community. We also provided learning opportunities to individuals, empowering them to lead through service.

• We improved 45 low-income schools and 274 other public-serving organizations whose missions aspire to promote arts and culture, serve children and families, alleviate poverty and homelessness, promote health and wellness, improve education and literacy and beautify and revitalize our neighborhoods and environment. We did this through our HandsOn projects, our referral of community volunteers and through our capacity-building programs and services.

• We equipped 25 volunteer resource managers in 12 sessions with a total of 900 hours of instruction and state certification in our Volunteer Management Training Series; we equipped 41 volunteer resource managers with 98 hours of technical training in using our technology tool for recruiting and managing their volunteers

• We maintained an up-to-date database of 145 on-call disaster volunteers, and 111 community volunteers gave 389 hours of service as participants in the Volunteer Reception Center portion of a city-wide emergency preparedness drill; 96 nonprofit staff participated in 5 disaster preparedness trainings, representing 105 hours of instruction

• We connected 55 businesses with the needs of our community, mobilizing and equipping them to participate in high impact projects

• We equipped 21 leaders with 48 learning hours each (1,008 total hours) through our Blueprint for Leadership program, placing 19 graduates in one-year nonprofit board internships after completing this advanced board learning institute that imparts new knowledge in governance, financial and fiduciary oversight, fundraising, and hands on responsibilities to internships or existing board assignments

• We catalyzed and contributed $104,000 in cash donations and 285 hours of volunteer service in support of 42 nonprofit agencies through the annual Hope Fund

Imperative #3, We Inspire: We promote volunteering and inspire people to serve. Through our multi-media outreach, our Celebration of Service, and our various programs, we encourage and contribute to a culture of connection, caring, and commitment in Northeast Florida.

• Our Celebration of Service annually inspires people to serve by telling stories of some of our community’s finest volunteers. In 2008, with an estimated 800 people in attendance, we honored 18 individuals and groups for their outstanding service to the community, representing more than 200 community volunteers; 111 media and event volunteers gave 2289 hours of valuable service to help make the Celebration of Service successful
