L.A. Works Recruits, Manages, and Mobilizes Volunteers
VOLUNTEER GROUP MANAGEMENT
L.A. Works organizes programming for teams of corporate and community volunteers – removing the majority of time and effort that usually falls to the nonprofit when a group reaches out looking to volunteer. If you have a virtual, at-home, or (socially-distanced) in-person service activity that can accommodate a group of any size, please reach out! From hands-on beautification projects to virtual mentoring workshops to creating supply kits, corporate groups are always willing to lend a helping hand to meet your organization’s needs.
