On the Job with Terri Parodi of Hands on the Valley

BY ANDREA V. HERNANDEZ

For busy people, doing volunteer work may be desirable, but almost impossible to fit in their schedule -- or so they think.

Terri Parodi sees room for negotiation. Parodi is director of Hands on the Valley, the volunteer center of the United Way of the Chattahoochee Valley. The center hooks people up with flexible volunteer opportunities -- whether it is a one-day project or a weekly commitment.

This week, Parodi and her team are preparing for Hands on Georgia Week, an initiative in which volunteers across the state take on multiple projects. It runs from Saturday to Oct. 5.

Parodi sat down with the Ledger-Enquirer to talk about community service for busy people, corporate volunteerism and Hands on Georgia Week.
