D.E.S.I. Volunteer & Internship Opportunities
Volunteers are at the heart of what we do. Whether you're distributing groceries at our food bank, supporting a community event, or contributing your skills to our arts and music programming, your time makes a direct difference for families in our community.
Ways to get involved
Food Bank
We distribute food weekly to over 400 families in East Los Angeles. Volunteers help with setup, distribution, and logistics.
Community Events
From our annual celebrations to neighborhood outreach, there's always something happening and always a role to fill.
Arts & Music Programming
We offer inclusive programming in music, dance, and creative arts with no auditions, no fees, and no experience required. If you want to share a skill, we want to hear from you.
Internships
We host interns from California State University, University of California, and private universities and even local high schools. If you're a student looking to gain meaningful field and/or volunteer experience, reach out to jason@desisocal.org.
