As an LA Compost Hub Support Volunteer, you'll gain hands-on experience working alongside our knowledgeable Compost Managers. Get ready to leave feeling accomplished, a little sweaty, and brimming with new compost knowledge.

Why: When LA Compost volunteers support our compost hubs, they help divert food scraps from landfills, significantly reducing methane emissions. Their hands-on efforts contribute to building healthy soils and a community composting network.

Who: LA Compost works to restore lost connections to the soil and one another.

What to Expect:

Join passionate community composters, learn to turn food scraps into rich compost, and connect with the local food system.

You will be working outdoors! Shade levels vary by site.

Activity level can be adjusted to your comfort and abilities--just communicate with your Compost Manager.

No prior composting experience is needed; everyone is welcome!

Bathrooms are NOT available

If you sign up, we ask that you show up! We rely on volunteers like you to achieve our mission.
