The Austin Volunteer and Community Services Network is an interactive database which allows people to search for volunteer opportunities in Austin, Texas.
Users can search by agency name, keyword, or location.
Clicking on an agency name from the results list brings up a full description of the volunteer opportunity, the agency, its client population, contact person, phone number, and address. Agencies can enter volunteer opportunities directly into the database over the web. The School of Social Work is committed to promoting volunteerism and community involvement by providing this valuable community resource. This site is managed by the CDAR to help SW310 and SW312 students locate volunteer placements and provide a basic source of volunteer opportunities in social work agencies. Recently there was a collaborative effort with the School, United Way, The University Volunteer Center, RSVP, and other volunteer placement organizations to develop a common database of Austin area volunteer placements.
