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.

A high-profile section along the Ventura River bike path will soon become Ventura’s newest ocean friendly garden. The Ventura Hillsides Conservancy (VHC) and the Ocean Friendly Gardens team of the Ventura County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation have teamed up to re-landscape and reinvigorate land at the entrance to the Willoughby Nature Preserve. The two organizations will host a series of community work days to transform the property, the first taking place on Saturday, August 19 beginning at 9 a.m. Volunteers will help remove old vegetation to prepare the area for future plantings of coastal native plants.
Located next to the "Welcome to Ventura" sign along the Ventura River Parkway (adjacent to the parking lot at Main and Peking Streets), the landscaping will be updated using ocean friendly garden techniques designed to capture rainwater and eliminate urban runoff. The project, funded by the City of Ventura's Community Partnerships Grant Program, seeks to beautify the area and educate the public about the benefits of ocean friendly gardening. The new garden will be named in honor of Paul Herzog, Surfrider’s National Coordinator for the Ocean Friendly Garden program, who recently passed away at age 49.
The volunteer work day will begin at 9 a.m. with an orientation at VHC’s informational kiosk located along the bike path at the Main St. Bridge in downtown Ventura (Main St. & Peking Streets). All volunteers should wear pants, long sleeves, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen and bring a refillable water bottle. Because of the physical nature of the work, volunteers must be at least 12 years of age and minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
