Big Sunday
Big Sunday
connects people through helping. We provide a wide variety of opportunities and projects that bring people together to improve lives, build community and give people a sense of belonging.
The idea is that absolutely everyone has some way that they can help somebody else. In these divisive times we like to celebrate our differences while finding common ground.

Primary Purpose/Nature of Work Big Sunday is seeking a Program Assistant to provide assistance in all kinds of ways both in the office and at Big Sunday events.
We are looking for someone energetic, lively, organized, hard-working, dependable, fun and kind. This person should like to be part of a team, but is also adept at working on their own. We’re also looking for someone who enjoys people and wants to help us bring diverse people together in the name of helping one another. Please note: We work with hundred of nonprofits and schools helping all kinds of causes - homelessness, literacy, hunger, the environment, children, seniors, veterans, animals, and just about anything else you can think of.
This is an entry-level job. We work Monday - Friday in person at our offices in Hollywood. This is a job that can be demanding, gratifying and fun, and provides lots of opportunities to make the world a better place - but it's not a good "day job" for someone juggling it with something else.
