Austin Volunteers is the volunteer arm of United Way for Greater Austin. We are one of the leading coordinators of employee engagement and business philanthropy services in Central Texas, engaging thousands of Texans in volunteerism annually and empowering people to make volunteering a regular part of their lives. Austin Volunteers offers something for everyone, ranging from one-time volunteer projects to those requiring a more significant time commitment. Our goal is to make volunteering accessible to everyone and to help you and your team connect your interest and passion to a community need.

Hands on Central Texas (HOCT) is the largest volunteer network in Central Texas. The program strengthens our communities through meaningful volunteer action and strives to inspire, equip and mobilize people to change lives through service. The volunteer database is a free resource for nonprofits in Central Texas to utilize to recruit volunteers, track service hours and communicate with potential volunteers. United Way for Greater Austin brings people, ideas and resources together to fight poverty in our community.
