Eastside Community Connection is an organization dedicated to engaging young people to be the next generation of leaders while making a difference in our community today. ECC’s doors are always open for more volunteers at our Food Pantry or teaching at our ESL Classes. You can volunteer as an individual or as part of a group, either ways, you’ll be serving the East Austin community alongside some outstanding students from the University of Texas. If you would like more information, please email volunteer@austinecc.org.
