The Pacific American Volunteer Association, PAVA, is one of the largest volunteer environmental groups in the State of California, with active membership exceeding 60,000. PAVA specializes in two areas of volunteer work, environmental education, environmental clean up and restoration work, and in multicultural performance featuring Korean and African drumming and dance. PAVA is also involved in education, assisting the elderly, and community service. The president and founder of PAVA is Tiger Kang, former owner of Tiger 5 Productions, the Korean Broadcasting and production studio in Los Angeles. Tiger Kang was a Los Angeles River Commissioner. PAVA is in charge of volunteer restoration and conservation in Griffith Park's Bird Sancturary. PAVA typically turns out 5,000 volunteers at its Los Angeles River Clean Up and Restoration volunteer days. PAVA has produced Du Doong, a Korean, African, and multicultural drum and dance festival, at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, twice. The organization is hoping to perform at the Kodak Theater, again, in the near future. PAVA works with Heal the Bay on environmental projects. PAVA works with the NAACP on multicultural shows.[1][2]
