We believe that service unites diverse communities and inspires a culture of stewardship and compassion.
As a non-profit social enterprise, L.A. Works specializes in custom designing and leading authentic volunteer experiences for companies to support their local community and address the issues that align with their corporate values.
WHY INVEST IN SERVICE?
You don't have to take our word for it! Check out the most recent research from Benevity on why corporate volunteerism matters.
“We know that workers who are engaged in company social impact programs are less likely to leave their companies, and a recent study showed that among corporate wellness programs, participation in charity or volunteer work stands out as one of the few interventions that leads to improved well-being.”
~ Sona Khosla, Chief Impact Officer, Benevity
