TEEN SERVICE SQUAD

HandsOn Broward’s Teen Service Squad offers teenagers from all over Broward County the opportunity to get out into their community and make a positive impact through service.  Teen Service Squad members participate in “hands-on” direct service volunteer opportunities led by HandsOn Broward staff members at a variety of partnering nonprofit agencies in Broward County.
