Credit where it belongs

Sources & image credits.

Clear sources make a useful directory trustworthy.

How we source listings

Organization-owned websites and volunteer pages are our primary sources. The City of Austin volunteer hub, GivePulse Austin, and VolunteerATX help identify programs. Discovery directories are not treated as proof of current openings.

Descriptions are short editorial summaries. Categories and work types describe the program; dates, eligibility, accessibility, and open places must be confirmed with the organization. Read our full methodology.

Organization photos and logos

Official logos and website icons identify the listed organizations; ownership stays with each organization and their appearance does not imply endorsement or partnership. Some programs use a labeled parent organization identifier. We preserve colors and proportions. Submitted photographs require an authorized representative’s rights confirmation. Initials are used when a suitable identifier is unavailable.
