The mission of Palisades Cares is to organize and promote community service projects in Pacific Palisades and the greater
Los Angeles area. We believe in the importance of paying it forward and helping others. When you help others, you also help yourself.
What We Do
We network with other organizations to promote volunteerism. We organize workshops and forums dealing with local issues, including volunteering and the environment. We spearhead volunteer projects.
How Can We Help You?
If you are a business, we can work with you to design a volunteer program or link your employees to existing volunteer opportunities. Volunteering is good for the people you help, your employees, and your company. Volunteer Match says "eight in ten Americans say that corporate support of causes wins their trust, and business".
If you are an individual, we can link you to volunteer opportunities where you will be working with people who also want to give back. If you are a student, we can help you satisfy your community service requirement.
