L.A. Works Day of Service VISTA

L.A. Works is a nonprofit that 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.

The Day of Service VISTA Program, sponsored by L.A. Works will educate and encourage people to engage in the broader social issues affecting the greater Los Angeles community. This program will strengthen L.A. Works¿ organizational capacity through building out Day of Service Events focusing first on the national MLK Day of Service event. By the end of the service term, through targeted outreach, volunteer engagement, established financial partnerships, and community-based initiatives and events, the Day of Service VISTA program will enhance a variety of equity outcomes, creating space for more volunteer opportunities, and educational opportunities for disadvantaged Angelenos.
