Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community, make Austin feel more like home and support a cause you care about.

Tips for Volunteering: 

• Volunteer close to where you live. This way, you can meet people in your own neighborhood and learn about what makes your area unique.
  
   
• Decide whether you plan to volunteer once or on a regular basis. If you choose to volunteer regularly, make sure you attend any necessary trainings and keep up with the agreed upon schedule.
  
   
• Be prompt and consistent when you volunteer. Even though you are not getting paid, you should treat it like a regular job.
