Registering Teens & Youth

for Volunteer Projects

HandsOn Jacksonville and many of our member agencies welcome teens and youth as volunteers.  We value the energy and enthusiasm they bring to our projects!

Please follow these few steps necessary to register minors in order for them to be able to use our website to sign up for projects.

Step One

Click Here to create an account.

Step Two

Youth under the age of 13 will be prompted to call our office.  Youth ages 13 and above will be prompted to download and complete a Minor Release Form.  This form must be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to HandsOn Jacksonville before you will be able to use our website. 

Step Three

Return the form to us by mail, in person, or fax to 904-332-6722.  We will process the form and you will we able to register for projects that eligible for minors.  Please note that forms are processed on weekdays between the hours of 10:00 - 4:30 only. Once we have activated your account, you will be able to use the website to sign up for projects.

Tips for Finding Teen-Friendly Projects

Not all projects are open for minors to volunteer, however, you can search specifically for teen-friendly projects by going to the Search Projects section of the website.  Scroll to the bottom of the screen to Project Attributes and select "teen-friendly" to filter all of the available teen projects.

Also note that minors may be asked to have another waiver signed before participating on individual projects.  This is a project liability waiver and is different from the release form described in Step Two.
