I worked for this company for 7 years. I had the honor of interviewing children and volunteers and…read morepairing them up together. It was the best job I ever had. BBBSLA is a superb agency that provides mentors to children that are facing some type of adversity. Typically they are children coming from single parent low-income households, although they help kids from all backgrounds. I kind of view it as providing a friend to a child who needs one. Many children need someone to confide in. They don't want to talk to their mom or dad about school, friends, girls/boys, sex, or life in general because they think their parents are, "uncool." Did any of you think your parents were cool growing up? Probably not. The volunteers are thoroughly screened. That was part of my job so I know all about it. We do Livescan, where we scan the volunteers' fingerprints and send them to the Department of Justice. We run DMV checks and contact references. We also interview the volunteers and ask them many questions about their lives so we get a good sense of who they are. All of that information is used towards making a compatible match. The same goes for the families, we interview the parents and children separately to assess the needs and interests of the child. The staff is a wonderful group of people all dedicated to the mission of helping children reach their goals by supporting these 1-1 relationships. They host many cool events throughout the year where all the matches get together. This program helps children in so many ways. It exposes them to ideas and activities they likely otherwise wouldn't have seen. Sadly many disadvantaged children are limited in what they can experience due to their circumstances. It provides them with a positive role model who they can emulate and talk to about their future. It increases children's confidence and self-esteem. And most of all it is fun! I encourage any adult who has some free time during the weekend to volunteer for this wonderful agency. I am proud to say I worked here.

I love thrift stores and I love deals! The Out Of The Closet in Glassell Park, California (near…read moreGlendale and Atwater Village) always has the great deals and fun fashion! Popped in today around 2:30pm to shop and it was not busy. So I got to take my time through the aisles. Saw some jeans and a shirt that I liked. Tossed them in my basket. Then I went to the book section and was amazed at all of the different types of books. Self help, fantasy, autobiographical, thrillers and more! I actually picked up four supernatural style novels. Checking out was easy. The cashier was friendly and saw that one of my articles of clothing had a green tag. Which meant 50% off! There's a free condom display for practicing safe sex. That's amazing! Oh, and on Saturday, February 21st 2026 they are having $2 sale in the parking lot. I will definitely start following them for their monthly $2 sales!

I absolutely love supporting this organization and enjoy visiting their stores because they are the place to go for incredible vintage finds and one-of-a-kind treasures. I stopped by on a Sunday morning and there was a small line waiting to get in. The darling gal that opened the door greeted us with a cheerful "Hello." She was fabulous - walking around enthusiastically telling customers, "That is perfect for you" in Spanish. The excitement was definitely in the air because I happened to overhear one gal's phone conversation. She said, "My mom kept telling me to come were to find a jacket for my trip. I finally said o.k. so she would leave me alone and guess what? I found the perfect jacket and it's my size! I hate it when my mom is right." I had to laugh. Her mom is right though, this store has a vast selection of clothing, jewelry, accessories, furniture, houseware, and other items. Most shoes & clothing are priced at $10. Of course, I fell in love with a stunning Roberto Cavalli dress. Unfortunately, it was $250. I also saw a pair of beautiful Louboutins for $45 but they weren't my size. However, I did score a great little black dress and a pair of sexy L.A.M.B. heels for $10 each. Perfect date night outfit! Now I just need to find a date. LOL!

Speaking of which, organizations that do…read morereally well in doing so much good for the community should receive more of the recognition and support they deserve! :) The nonprofit is the base that hosts volunteer activities initiated by different groups all over the city. It is the hub from which various other nonprofits voice and turn the wheels of their projects. Even a recent Yelp Beach Cleanup event, associated with Heal the Bay, required volunteers to sign up first with LA Works. For MLK's Day, LA Works planned a morning at Rosemont Elementary where hundreds of people, most of them a part of their employer company (ex. Target, Home Depot, JP Morgan, Accenture), showed up to help revitalize the campus. A radio station came prepared with dancing and music to jumpstart the day. Volunteers were assigned letters and numbers, then told to report to their assigned tasks. It was all very organized and efficient. They cleaned the computer labs, classrooms, storage room and rec room. Adults and kids alike transformed drab brown walls into a playground of rainbows and sunshine. Snacks, juice and water were available throughout the event. Following, food trucks showed up, some of which were either prepaid by the organization or declined to charge. You can become a volunteer by signing up for an account - and then going through their available search options for projects you would be interested in. I like looking through their calendar for a big picture of their activities. Some projects, like anything that has to do with animals, are hot and fill up faster than others. Clicking on the individual project listing will provide a detailed description and, more importantly, the geographical location/zip code. Trust me, the easier it is to get there, the more available and willing you are to enjoy the event, maybe even on a weekly basis.

It was easy to sign up for both events; the respective coordinators got back to me quickly, and I had a wonderful time. You really do feel like a part of the community when you help out your fellow residents. Many people say they wish they could set aside time to volunteer, and I'd just like to tell them that it doesn't take any effort just to ask how you can help, and the rewards are neverending. I look forward to helping out with future events. Thank you again!

First of all, it goes without saying this is an older Y. The building itself has probably seen better days, but the condition of the courts, workout equipment, and weights are all great and just what you need to get a workout in. I primarily use the treads and free weights, and have never had an issue waiting for others at 7pm on a weekday. I also want to commend the staff member who showed us around the facilities for the first time. He was helpful and seemed genuinely interested in getting us on board as members. In Glendale you either get boutique fitness classes or overpriced muscle gyms. If you are looking for a reliable, affordable option, I can't recommend the Glendale Y enough. I'm not sure what capacity was like pre-pandemic days, but since we've started going last week it has always been populated but not crowded. Masks are also not required but it's quite easy to space out because - well - there's a ton of space in every room!
