    Description

    Foundation Communities is a local nonprofit dedicated to providing quality affordable housing and support services to families and individuals. We operate Learning Centers at 13 sites across Austin, and we have some that are higher need than others.

    We are seeking passionate individuals to assist our Learning Center staff with their after-school programming for youth and teens at multiple locations across Austin including southwest and northeast Austin, as well as South-Central St. Elmo area.

    Learning Center volunteers have the ability to work with youth on homework, passion projects, and engage them through physical activities and one-on-one support, all after school! Our after-school programs make sure that all kids have a nutritious meal, school support, physical play time, and enrichment activities that they find interesting.

    Want to make a difference this holiday season? Start your volunteer journey now!
