Wildfire Resource Center General Volunteers

Volunteers with a “put me in, coach” attitude can assist with any number of opportunities that arise at the Center. 

Why: Volunteering in this role means that the operation will run more smoothly for all and that survivors will be able to access more resources and supplies for their recovery.

Who: L.A. Works is partnering with the Emergency Network of Los Angeles (ENLA), and national, state and local community-based organizations to provide resources and services to wildfire survivors.

What to Expect: 

• Counting individuals in the space to ensure the Center does not exceed capacity (supplies provided)
• Assisting at or near checkpoints with lists or passes as shifts are about to begin to ensure that volunteers are able to enter the space and arrive on time to their shift
• Getting or gathering supplies needed within the Center
• Relieving another volunteer for a break or lunch
•  Additional tasks
• What’s Provided For All Volunteers:
  • Breaks, snacks and a meal
  • Volunteer Nametag (First Name, Initial)
  • Easy parking onsite
  • Possibility of rotating roles if needed

What’s Required:

• Flexibility
• Quick to Learn
• Positive Attitude
• Customer Service/Hospitality Focus when interacting with others
• Ability to maintain strict confidentiality
• Compassion and Patience
• Welcoming and positive attitude
• Able to follow directions
• Arrive on time and stay for the duration of the shift
• Check out with Volunteer Captain before leaving shift

Note: The Wildfire Resource Center is located within the burn area of Pacific Palisades:

• Volunteers should be aware that it may be difficult to see the devastation inside of the burn area and choose whether or not to volunteer in consideration of the location.
• Making a commitment to this role is especially important in this case as we will need to make special arrangements with authorities. Only volunteers who can commit to showing up for their shifts should sign up. 
• Volunteers should plan to spend an extra 15-30 minutes before shift time for navigating checkpoints.
