Volunteer

Volunteering at L.A. GOAL is a joyful, enriching experience. The reciprocal sense of accomplishment between Members and volunteers is a result from the guidance, support and encouragement they provide. Volunteers of all backgrounds — teachers, artists, gardeners, cooks, and more, both hobbyists and professionals, have generously donated their time to enrich our Members’ lives.

We are always looking for new volunteers to bring their knowledge and expertise to L.A. GOAL. Volunteer opportunities include assisting with our programs, including our Art Studio, Counseling, Adult Education Program, Cooking Class, Dance Class, Music Class, and more.

If you have something to bring to L.A. GOAL not listed above, we would still love to hear from you! We’re always looking to introduce new experiences to our Members.

If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to our Executive Director, Petra Staal, at Info@lagoal.org, or call the agency at (310) 838-5274.
