 Foundation Communities

Leader: Marjorie Villafranco

Foundation Communities is a nonprofit organization that helps families in the Austin area with affordable housing, healthcare, after school/summer programs for children, and empowering them with the tools they need to succeed. Learning Center volunteers provide elementary students general help with homework and enrichment activities based on the need of the learning center.

If you have a specific passion or talent that you would like to share with the students please talk directly with your learning center coordinator; they are always looking for people to lead enrichment activities with the kids.

Once a Month on Sundays

Brookdale Assisted Living

Leader: Krista Gehlhausen

Volunteering with senior citizens is a great way to get life advice and have fun with some super fun people! Many people at Brookdale do not receive a lot of visits from family, so our game night is the bright spot of their week!

Join us to talk and play games with our local area senior citizens! We usually play card games, board games, dominos, or even put together puzzles. 

Meet at the flag pole outside of the gym about 5:15 pm. We will depart around 5:30 pm to arrive just before our volunteer time at 6:00. Please come ready to drive yourself or organize a carpool with other volunteers. Limited spots will be open for students who do not have transportation. Contact Krista Gehlhausen @ krista.gehlhausen@ctx.edu or 817-718-7243 for more information.
