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.

Arts Brookfield presents a highly acclaimed public art installation by Australian artist Amanda Parer. The installation, titled Intrude, features seven monumental rabbits constructed of sewn white nylon that have been inflated and internally lit. Two of the seven rabbits were specially commissioned by Arts Brookfield, each scaling over two stories in height.
Rabbits in Parer’s native Australia are an out of control pest first introduced by white settlers in 1777. Their intrusion into the landscape and impact on the country’s endemic species was the initial inspiration for Intrude. Their presence in LA’s urban landscape invites viewers to get up close, cuddle and enjoy while also asking one to consider every species’ larger than life impact on their surroundings.
The seven rabbits of Intrude will be spread across several Brookfield properties on Bunker Hill and at the FIGat7th retail center in downtown Los Angeles from June 5 – June 11.

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.
