Mission Statement
Mobilizing People and Resources to Deliver Creative Solutions to Community Needs! The Volunteer Center, South Bay-Harbor-Long Beach was founded in 1963 by the Junior League of Long Beach in response to the needs of the community. For over 50 years, we have referred almost a million volunteers to thousands of nonprofit agencies who maintain critical programs for those in need. The Volunteer Center's six locations act as the clearinghouses for programs that continue to make a real difference in our community and promote personal involvement as a part of the solution.
