Outpost Neighborhood Association
is only as successful as our wonderful volunteers!

Consider volunteering your time, skills and expertise to help improve our Outpost Estates community. There are opportunities annually to join the Outpost Neighborhood Association Board of Directors, or get involved in some of the following focus areas:

  • Beautification: our hillside setting is filled with marvelous flora and fauna. With our diligent and prudent care, we can continue to beautify Outpost Estates. Helping manage the maintenance of the landscaped traffic islands, tree planting, signage, and neighborhood cleanups are a great way to get involved!

  • Events: help bring together neighbors and foster a sense of community! There is always a need for volunteers to coordinate and host cocktail parties, BBQs, and other neighborhood events and encourage and gather volunteers from within our community to participate in each event.

  • Marketing & Communication: Works to spread the word about ONA’s mission, goals, events and accomplishments and helps to get the message out about the help we need and the advantages of becoming a current supporter. We’re always in need of energetic volunteers to create news stories and help maintain the OutpostEstates.com website and social media accounts, create and send the monthly ONA newsletter, send out mailers, post signs, write emails – and more! In many ways it is attraction rather than promotion that will drive higher support for ONA.

  • Recruitment: From maintaining our supporter contact and fundraising database, to welcoming new neighbors and inviting neighbors to join our organization as a supporter, we are always on the look out for volunteers to assist with recruitment activities.

  • Rewards & Experiences: help distribute Hollywood Bowl tickets to neighbors and supporters, and reach out to local businesses and community groups to foster partnerships!

  • Traffic & Safety: works with local agencies and the Hollywood Bowl to improve traffic, awareness, and offer solutions to transportation and traffic concerns and increase a general sense of well-being in Outpost Estates.

  • Other Duties: ONA has other duties that require Board volunteers. This includes volunteers to:

    • represent ONA at the Hollywood Bowl Advisory Group meetings;

    • coordinate with other surrounding non-profit community groups like Aviva Family & Children Services to volunteer;

    • coordinate with the Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council;

    • apply for grants for ONA projects;

    • help print flyers/mailers, stuff envelopes, and deliver them to neighbors;

    • and keep and share the history of ONA and Outpost Estates and share that information with ONA Board members and stakeholders.
