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.
The Fulfillment Fund is a college access organization with a 39-year history of helping disadvantaged students graduate high school and get to and through college.
Has networking been a useful tool in your career? Join the Fulfillment Fund on April 26th for their annual Student Networking Mixer! The Fulfillment Fund has introduced the concept of professionalism and networking to their senior students in the classroom and volunteers are needed to help instill the skill in this fun event. Networking and professionalism will be critical as they embark on their journey into their freshman year at college; you’ll help students develop comfort with speaking to professors and other collegiate resources. Volunteers will hold conversation with students during the organized networking mixer and will model professional behavior and discuss topics from education, careers and professional journeys! Interested in volunteering? Please register at https://fulfillment.thankyou4caring.org/student-networking-mixer.
For more info, please contact Betsy Ann Mudd at 323-900-8723 or bmudd@fulfillment.org.
