About Volunteer Los Angeles

A partnership for change, Volunteer Los Angeles provides a direct connection between volunteers and the nonprofit organizations and government agencies where they can be of service.  We are building an integrated approach to pairing the right volunteers with the right needs.  

Assistance League of Southern California

Our parent organization, Assistance League of Southern California (ALSC), a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1919. ALSC provides a broad range of comprehensive essential social services to individuals of all ages with critical needs in Los Angeles. Learn more about ALSC.
