About ISOC LA & SoCal
Our Mission
We demand a lot from the Internet. It always rises to the challenge, whatever may be happening in the world around us. We have learned to count on the Internet as a critical constant, and today it’s hard to think of life without it. But as much as we need the Internet, the Internet also needs us. It needs all of us to help it grow because many people in our community in Southern California still don’t have access and the information environment that we rely on faces increasing threats, including Internet fragmenting, Internet shutdowns, and undermining encryption. These negatively impact our human rights such as privacy, security, and freedom of expression.


Our Programs
At ISOC LA & SoCal, we protect the Internet way of networking—the open, collaborative model that has helped the Internet grow and flourish – by:
Partnering with local organizations to deliver projects that enhance and support the internet, responding to the needs of Southern Californians and by spreading awareness of Internet policy issues and ISOC’s work.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. We offer a variety of opportunities for individuals and groups to get involved and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
