Upcoming events
Pasadena Community Job Center
The Pasadena Community Job Center is a member of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), an alliance of more than 42 worker centers and other member organizations dedicated to creating daily, temporary and permanent employment opportunities for day laborers, with fair wages and safe working conditions. The Center’s ultimate goal is to enable every day laborer to earn a living, contribute to society, and integrate into the community.
Bringing people together to get jobs done. That’s what the Pasadena Community Job Center is all about. We connect members of the community— residential customers and small business owners— with other members of the community: skilled, hardworking day laborers whom you can depend on. Painters. Gardeners. Roofers. Movers. Drywall installers. Cleaning men and women. Carpenters. Bricklayers. Child and elderly care workers. They all come to the Center hoping to find a temporary job. And all are ready and able to work at a moment’s notice.
Volunteer physical therapists and physical therapy students will be working together to treat the primarily Spanish-speaking day laborers in 15-minute therapy sessions. Volunteer physical therapists are also welcome to treat patients in this setting on their own.
For SPTs: 1 clinical rotation experience preferred.
Midnight Mission
We will be providing pro-bono PT for underprivileged residents at Midnight Mission, an non-profit organization focused on reaching out to the homeless, located in Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles.
We are looking for both Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPTs) as well as Students of Physical Therapy (SPTs) who have completed at least one clinical rotation to provide direct physical therapy treatment to patients. We also have opportunities for volunteers who do not fit into either of these categories, so we invite you to volunteer regardless!

Street Symphony Festival: Community-wide celebration and resource fair
The Street Symphony Festival is a vibrant celebration of the Skid Row community's resilience, stories, and artistry.
It marks the launch of our inaugural annual music festival, uniting Angelenos from all walks of life to revel in the enchantment of music and community. Beyond being a free public musical event, the Street Symphony Festival presents a profound opportunity to forge enduring connections and bridge communities through the universal language of music. Street Symphony Festival is the culmination of our programming, featuring multi-genre performances from world-class Mariachi, Jazz, and West-African drumming groups, and a modern adaptation of George Frideric Handel's oratorio "Messiah" showcasing stories, new musical works, and performances by members of the Skid Row community alongside internationally acclaimed musicians from the LA Philharmonic and LA Master Chorale, as well as student musicians from the Colburn School and University of Southern California.
All Street Symphony programs are free and open to the public. From organizations providing resources for mental and physical health, community partners hosting a range of activities which serve the Skid Row community, arts organizations and vendors sharing their works, food trucks serving hot meals, the festival welcomes all for a full day of celebration.
Street Symphony Festival will take place at Void Studios (677 Imperial St.) with programs occurring throughout the day on December 10th, 2023 from 11am to 4pm.
