Does Los Angeles have a community design organization?

Pondering

Looking to volunteer/work with community design in LA. Just moved into town and can't seem to find any resources on this. I know of other cities that have a non-profit organization dedicated to community design or community green design. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Are you talking about the actual city or groups within the city?

Maybe > http://hollywoodcommunitystudio.org/ (Other than getting occasional emails from them, I don't know what they're about).

Hi folks,

Thanks for all the helpful links!!!! Groups within the city as well as the city itself, both will work. This is an example of something that I am looking for in this city:

I do find it strange that there isn't anything obvious like that in LA, I've always thought the west coast is supposedly more ahead of the game in terms of such groups.
