LEARNING HOW TO CRAWL AGAIN

Most of us have been on some sort of Crawl in our lives (early 20s). And let's face it, most - if not all - of them involved bars, excess and not feeling great afterwards. Not this time, my friends! L.A. Works is hosting its 2nd Annual Service Crawl.

On Saturday, July 21st from 8am-2pm a variety of non-profits will be stationed at assorted sites. Teams will then race from site to site solving clues, completing tasks, gaining points and competing for prizes; all while getting a taste for each organization who they are, what they do, and how they work.

There's a reason tastings and tapas and ...crawls are so popular. A lot of us hesitate to make commitments until we feel like we've explored all our options. If you live in or near the L.A. area and you've been thinking about giving your time but you're not sure where to go or what organization to spend it with, this is the perfect opportunity to see and meet what's out there in your community.

So grab a few people and get ready to be competitive, race around L.A. and give back. But hurry! This is a team-based only event. Registration ends Friday July 13th and only 20 teams can compete on a first come, first served basis. Hop onto the L.A. WORKS website for all the details and requirements.

Any time of year is a good time to check out their site -- L.A. Works has been mobilizing volunteers since 1991! You can browse local organizations and filter for specific types of volunteer opportunities. Or, do you have a free day coming up? Check out their Opportunity Calendar for a daily list of date specific events and volunteer needs.
