The Angeles Volunteer Association (AVA) is a public service organization dedicated to the preservation and care of the Angeles National Forest working under the safety oversight and supervision of the United States Forest Service as a 501(c)3[1] non-profit organization.
To meet those goals, the AVA volunteers maintain annual and bi-annual training and certification in a broad spectrum of forest-related issues such as First aid, Situation awareness, radio communications, Interpersonal relationship and Conflict resolution training, all designed to assist volunteers to work professionally with forest visitors.
AVA volunteers work with the Forest Service, the visitor public, and with High Schools and Colleges to provide staffing for such wide services[2] as Most of the volunteer work which the AVA does takes place within the San Gabriel River (California) Ranger District of the U. S. Forest Service, located North of the City of Azusa, California, often within the Crystal Lake Recreation Area of the Angeles National Forest.
The Angeles Volunteer Association was founded in 1993 as a California 501(c)3 organization which works closely with the U. S. Forest Service.
