Volunteer Programs in Los Angeles, United States

Los Angeles might have 99 problems—but a beach ain’t one. With a starry-eyed view, many place the idea of Los Angeles living on a pedestal. Yes, life in LA is full of endless sunshine, golden beaches, and epic surf, but days spent soaking up the sun are a pipe dream for much of LA’s inhabitants. When you look beyond the superficial status and star quotient in Los Angeles, you’ll find the underserved and overlooked. This is why Los Angeles is the perfect location to volunteer abroad!

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!
