About us
Welcome to Atheists Volunteer - Greater Los Angeles! We are a program of Atheists United designed to put our community's humanist values into action. We welcome all people regardless of identity to help us build a better world through volunteering.
If you would like to organize, host, or share a project you're excited about and think Atheists Volunteer would be a great partner just message any of our group organizers and we'll be sure to reply ASAP.
We hope to see you at one of our future volunteer events. Also, once you volunteer over 10 hours you get a free t-shirt!
"The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so." -- Robert Ingersoll

Reimagining America Summit
TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/reimagining-america-summit-tickets-1985834720105
What would it mean to truly reimagine America?
Timed to coincide with Juneteenth and the 250th anniversary of July 4th, Reimagining America invites participants to reflect on the nation’s founding promises as well as the ongoing work of true liberty for all.
This gathering brings together leaders, activists, scholars, and community members of all ages for thoughtful conversations about the future of our shared civic life. Through panels on education, local government, reflective activism, and religious pluralism, participants will explore how we can strengthen institutions, deepen participation, and build a more just and inclusive society.
Grounded in honest reflection and creative possibility, the conference is a space to ask bold questions and imagine new paths forward.
