Climate Action and Earth Month 2026

Choose to be in the Climate Action Community

If you're concerned and want to take action to address climate issues in L.A. County, then you've found the right community!

You'll see from the list below that volunteers like yourself are always just a click away from signing up for current, hands-on, educational community projects. One page with an easy search and sign-up.

These curated projects come from our nonprofit partners who do this work around the county, 365 days a year. The L.A. Works page and Climate Action team are supported by California Volunteers and include Fellows from the California Climate Action Corps. Every 11 months, a new cohort of Fellows joins the team, bringing their expertise, creativity, and commitment to climate- focused volunteer opportunities.

At L.A. Works, Earth Month is more than just dates on the calendar — it’s a call to action for our community to help build a more sustainable and resilient Los Angeles.

This year, our work takes on even greater urgency as we focus on post-wildfire support, climate disaster mitigation, and the restoration of native resilience. Please go to List 2 below for the March 2026 and May 2026 dates, before and after this featured month.
