Austin Voices Programs and Initiatives

Austin Voices for Education and Youth is currently focusing our work of strengthening schools and expanding opportunities for Austin’s youth by organizing around and implementing three goals:

• Improving Campuses by giving parents and students the training and tools they need to act as full partners in the process;
• Engaging youth to identify issues, communicate with decision makers, and partnering with adults to take action while building skills that prepare them for college, work and life;
• Influencing District-wide Change by implementing a community dialogue process that gathers priorities from stakeholders in neighborhoods across Austin and organizing input gathered to help create a conprehensive community vision and plan for our schools;

Find out more about these projects below. For more detailed information and to find out how to get involved, click on the headings below or on the menu links on the left side of this page.
