"We are not waiting until 2028 to tap into Los Angeles' resilience, generosity and grit. This unique initiative channels the spirit of volunteerism long before the opening ceremony, and we have the chance to create a model for future host cities, as well as a legacy for Los Angeles and the Games," LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover said in a statement. "Our hope is that this program can be a catalyst for Angelenos to give back to the city they love, unite across communities and help build a stronger city together."
