L.A. Works Community Impact VISTA
 
 
 
L.A. Works was founded in 1991 to harness LA’s volunteer power. Each year we mobilize more than 25,000 volunteers to address critical issues impacting our community, with the goal to unite Angelenos and inspire action for a more equitable Los Angeles. L.A. Works addresses three principal needs: increase volunteer participation in community service projects; build the capacity of nonprofit organizations to achieve their missions through access to volunteers and other resources; and educate and encourage people to engage in the broader social issues affecting the greater Los Angeles Community. DOVIA-LA is a professional membership association for individuals who lead, manage, and recruit volunteers for a diverse range of nonprofits, government organizations and cultural institutions in Los Angeles County. Members meet bi-monthly to network, build skills, and learn about current issues in the field of volunteer management. There is also an annual conference that is hosted each fall. Camaraderie and resource sharing are strong benefits of DOVIA-LA program.
