2024 Volunteer Activations

For this year’s LA2050 Grants Challenge, we did not just ask you to vote for the issues that matter most to you. For the first time, we also highlighted opportunities to volunteer and make a tangible impact on those same issues.

LA2050 partnered with 24 incredible organizations all across LA County to host diverse volunteer activations during Grants Challenge voting, from April 2nd to May 8th. We look forward to sharing an update on all that was accomplished soon!
