Support Wildfire-Affected Communities in Los Angeles

Volunteering with AHAH is always a deeply rewarding experience. The work is physically demanding at times but you’re always encouraged to listen to your body and take breaks when needed. There’s a strong culture of mutual respect and it makes a big difference. The team dynamic was one of the best parts of the experience. Everyone worked really well together, supported one another, and genuinely cared about doing meaningful work. The leadership is excellent, knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help/explain things clearly. Another great aspect is the location. There is plenty to explore, it’s safe to walk around, and you have plenty of time to experience the surrounding area. If you’re looking for a volunteer opportunity where you’ll work hard, grow personally, and be a part of a supportive community, this is it!

It’s been great to have the chance to help with wildfire relief in Los Angeles. Program staff has put a lot of effort into buying good food for us, taking us to fun events in the area, and finding worksites that are impactful. Currently the program is focused on smoke remediation projects, but we also volunteer at sites that provide free clothing and home furnishings to those affected by the fires.

I volunteered through all hands for 2 weeks and I loved every second of it. This program was exactly what I was looking for when looking for disaster relief volunteer work. The staff was incredible and the work we were doing always felt important. Something I find super nice about this program is how affordable they make it, housing is provided by them for the duration of your time with them and food is provided on work days. This gives more people the opportunity to volunteer and allows people to stay for a longer period of time then if they had to pay for their food and housing. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone who has an interest or passion in disaster relief.
