Austin Children's Shelter

Individual Volunteer Opportunties:
Austin
Children's Shelter (ACS) offers a variety of volunteer opportunities
through the Austin Children's Shelter Guild (ACSG) in a
membership-based environment. ACSG members provide
support for the Austin Children's Shelter through fundraising,
volunteerism and public awareness, working together on the committee
of their choice without a regular time commitment. When you become an
active member of the ACSG, you will have a significant impact on the
ability of the Austin Children's Shelter to provide essential services
for abused, neglected and abandoned children in our community.
Learn more about the Austin Children's Shelter Guild or become a member online. For more information about the Austin Children's Shelter, visit our website.

| CancerConnection |
Individual Volunteer Opportunities:
1) Cancer Connection, is always looking for volunteers to help provide emotional support
to those receiving cancer treatment in various Seton and St. David's
hospitals in the Austin area and in infusion rooms at Texas Oncology
and Southwest Regional Cancer Center.
2) Participate in one-on-one mentoring/matching with newly diagnosed cancer patients and caregivers.
Because volunteers are survivors and loved ones of those who had
cancer, they personify hope and encouragement by offering a listening
ear to someone who is now walking a similar path. Cancer Connection's next volunteer training will be held June 13 - 14, 2008.
The training is 10 hours all together. After this month, hours will
vary depending upon diagnosis matched, programs elected, and
volunteer's schedule flexibility. To join the growing network of cancer
survivors and loved ones, please apply online.
Group Volunteer Opportunities:
Volunteers are needed to help at Health Fairs and fund-raising events to help spread the word about our services to the public.
