Hands
on DC is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization that organizes projects to
improve the physical condition of Washington, D.C. public schools. The largest
event is the annual spring Work-a-thon, in which more than 2,000
volunteers work on projects at more than 30 D.C. public schools. WCSA has sent a team for the past two years, and we're hoping for a great showing from dedicated WCSA members!
