Harm Reduction Oppertunities

[Jabberwocky]

So when I UTMFSE I found
->http://harmreduction.org/
-->http://harmreduction.org/connect-locally/california/
--->http://harmreduction.org/connect-locally/california/#la

Anyone have any experience working/volunteering with any of these groups? Interested in any feedback or good/bad experiences, whether you're on the giving or receiving end. All my work in the HR field has been in New England, so I'm kinda out of my element. Thanks!

This is specific to LA because it's on my region (SoCal). I'd also be happy to hear about folks' experiences with other HR organizations/groups outside LA, CA or USA.

Yes, HHCLA; you can volunteer there if you want. They could really use the help and they do some great work.
