Volunteer Information Please consider volunteering to help the hungry and the homeless. Over 12% of Americans (over 35 million men, women, and children) live below the poverty level in the US. In Texas, over 14% of the state's population are food insecure. Volunteers are needed to assist various area food banks, shelters, and community kitchens. Volunteering is about giving back to the community, understanding a bit more about your place in the community, sharing expertise to help with unique projects, gaining new experiences and acquiring new skills. Volunteering is offering your time and mind to help others while learning a little bit about yourself. Register yourself on our database to get up to the minute information on volunteer opportunities related to your personal interests. The mission of the Volunteer and Service Learning Center is to promote, organize, facilitate, support and reflect on community engagement for the UT-Austin community.
