Volunteer Opportunities

2025 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count
Be part of Austin’s community-wide effort to address homelessness by participating in the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) Count. Volunteers help survey individuals experiencing homelessness, providing critical data to inform policies and solutions. Training is provided by ECHO, and no prior experience is required. Your involvement ensures that youth experiencing homelessness are accurately represented.

Gift Card Donation Drive
Make a difference by organizing a gift card donation drive in your community, workplace, or school. Gift cards to grocery stores, gas stations, and major retailers help us meet the immediate needs of the youth and families we serve. This is a great way to support LifeWorks mission if you’re unable to volunteer in person. Every contribution helps our clients move closer to stability and independence.

To get started in a gift card donation drive, email maureen.engel@lifeworksaustin.org for more information.
