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.
Imagine LA works with volunteers and vulnerable families to break the cycle of homelessness, poverty, and neglect; and help every member thrive!
Their Family Mentorship Program matches a team of volunteer mentors from committed organizations to work directly with a family for 1-2 years. Imagine LA matches every family member with a one-to-one mentor; plus every family gets a Budget Mentor; and other volunteers help with tutoring, career development, childcare, healthcare, meal-planning and more. Imagine LA works.
Today, kids are excelling in school, parents are on career tracks, saving, maintaining budgets, and everyone remains in stable housing.
The Family Mentorship Program is a transformative experience for Families and Mentors alike. For families escaping the cycle of poverty, a mentor like you can make the difference between surviving and thriving.

Violence Intervention Program (VIP) is kicking off its annual Back to School Drive, focused on providing over 800 backpacks full of basic school supplies to clients and siblings. VIP’s clients represent a highly vulnerable population of at-risk and foster youth, but they believe every child should start the first day of school with the confidence to succeed and they need your help! VIP is looking for individuals and businesses to organize a drive this summer with their schools, offices, or community groups to collect backpacks and supplies (i.e. binders, notepads, folders, composition books). They are also looking for individuals to volunteer to prepare for the event by filling and sorting backpacks and help hand out backpacks on the day of the event. If you are interested in getting involved, please email or call Development Associate Nina Popoff at npopoff@vip-cmhc.org or 323-221-4134 x230.
NOTE: VIP is collecting donations on an ongoing basis now through August 4, 2016.
NewFilmmakers Los Angeles is looking for volunteers for their monthly screenings! NFMLA is a non-profit dedicated to supporting emerging indie talent by screening a diverse body of shorts and features each month.
Volunteers are needed for a Friday and Saturday once a month to help with set-up, reception, red carpet, ticketing, and breakdown. The evening is broken into 2 shifts, so when volunteers are not working, they can hang out and enjoy the event! To find out how to help, please contact Marissa@nfmla.org.
