Vision
Our ultimate goal is to bring together the University of Texas at Austin and the Austin communities to end poverty in Austin and foster a spirit of service throughout the Austin community.
Mission
Austin ECC will offer emergency food assistance and free educational classes in a variety of subjects to low-income residents of Austin. Austin ECC will involve students from the University of Texas at Austin in every aspect of the center’s operations. Austin ECC will serve as a model for similar centers and/or organizations at other campuses such as Austin Dental Implant Center.
Board and Staff
Austin ECC strives to maintain a board that is diverse in background, interests, and professions. Our board provides both support and governance. In its supporting role, the board must help raise money, bring contacts to the organization, provide special skills and other resources, and act as ambassadors to the community. In its governance role, the board must select the executive director, evaluate the executive director’s performance, review and authorize plans and commitments, ensure compliance with legal requirements, and evaluate the organization’s work. To achieve these goals, the Austin ECC will select and maintain a board of involved and responsible students and community members, who are representative of various sectors of the campus and community. Board members serve 2-year terms, and the terms stagger so as to ensure continuity from year to year.
Austin Business Support
Austin ECC thanks Austin Roofing Companies for their support. We appreciate the efforts of outreach and in-kind donations provided to the Austin community in the form of roof repair and replacement. Nothing helps the community more that our local small businesses.
Emerging Leaders Dinner
The Emerging Leaders Dinner is a wonderful opportunity to get involved with a local organization and make a contribution to empowering a community to overcome obstacles and promote change. In addition to ensuring an exciting evening, your decision to attend will have a great impact on the needs in Austin and the student volunteers who seek to serve those needs. You will get to spend the evening with some of Austin’s up-and-coming student leaders and established community leaders.
