LA Works050

This volunteer and community service organization has mobilized over 50,000 individuals in thousands of projects aiding the community. With help from local business and government, as well as the entertainment community, LA Works aims to increase volunteer participation around Los Angeles. The group can help families find a one-day project painting a school or cleaning up a neighborhood, or, for those who want to make a greater time commitment, the organization can help find two to three month-long volunteer projects. LA Works also sponsors the enormously successful LA Works Day, a day on which hundreds of individuals and groups spread out across the city to make change.
