Big Sunday happily welcomes you to Our Really Big Community Calendar.
We try to include all kinds of volunteering and helping opportunities for all kinds of interests, talents, passions, and ages! As you’ll see, these include volunteering opportunities (one-time and long-term) as well as the chance to support a nonprofit by attending fundraising events. Plus, of course, we include all of Big Sunday’s homegrown events, too! Whoever you are, and whatever you do, there is someone out there who could use your help.
If you have questions about our calendar, or would like to add a listing, please contact calendar@bigsunday.org or submit your event/opportunity via the button below.

Women writers and directors in the entertainment industry constantly encounter roadblocks when attempting to advance their careers – even when they are just as talented and capable as their male counterparts. Women actors have a similar problem simply because the number of female roles is significantly less than for men. Friend of Big Sunday Amy Lloyd and her business partner Christina Gray have combined efforts to combat this issue with a special IndieGogo campaign for their production company “Chicks Who Make Flicks.” This organization is working to do its part to increase visibility and provide more opportunities for women. The production company creates films made by women, films that tell great woman’s stories, films that capture the voices of women from all over the world and at every stage of their life. Their goal is to create an environment that supports, encourages, and celebrates talented female filmmakers.

Once a month, volunteers and community partners come together at the Garden School Foundation’s 24th Street School Garden to have some fun in the sun, enjoy delicious, garden-fresh snacks, and get vital work done that keeps their living classrooms beautiful for the kids they serve. They also have a cooking or gardening workshop during each workday, where volunteers can learn & get inspired about food, from seed to table.
To volunteer, please contact Shelby Crowell at shelby@gardenschoolfoundation.
The Paseo Island Festival (or as they call it – PIF) is Paseo Del Rey Elementary's biggest event and fundraiser of the year, and is basically a fair with an Island theme. There's food, games, entertainment (music and dancers), and a silent auction. The event takes place from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm. Setup begins in the morning at 8:00 am and clean up until about 6:00 pm.
For the most part, volunteers are asked to assist with collecting tickets and staffing the game booths, jump houses, and food booths. In the morning volunteers will help set up tables, and if they are around at the end of the event, once the event's closed down, volunteers can assist with breakdown and cleanup. Volunteers will be provided vouchers or tickets for a meal; please dress comfortably and bring sunscreen.
It's a fun day overall with a lot of activity!
