As a local charity, HandsOn Hong Kong mobilizes thousands of volunteers each year to support the city’s non-profits and the tens of thousands of people they serve. Each month, we run up to 200 volunteer activities on our calendar as a free service—as part of our mission to empower everyone in Hong Kong to volunteer.

We also collaborate with 100+ NGO+ partners by recruiting, managing volunteers, creating programs, and providing consultancy. The HandsOn Hong Kong team is looking for a dynamic and experienced Program Coordinator (part-time) to support the development and execution of signature HandsOn volunteering programs that connect non-profits with volunteer manpower and resources to help achieve their missions.
