Volunteer Opportunities:

Internships: Goodwill offers internships where individuals can learn new skills, and fine-tune existing ones while learning more about our mission and organization. We have internship opportunities available in our many departments: Workforce Development, Executive Administration, Marketing and Retail.

Special Events: Goodwill is always looking for extra hands and creative minds for our annual special events. We have a wide variety of special events including our community donation drive, electronic collections, job fair, retail projects and our Halloween costume party. We offer a chance to get involved in planning committees, the coordinating an execution process of these events. All of our events are community involved and lots of fun.

Ongoing Positions: Goodwill offers long-term projects in various areas of our organization. Our Computer Museum and Computer Works facility are two locations where we could always use assistance. We have positions as Vintage Hunting Helpers to help track down vintage threads and name brand clothes for our boutique racks.

Group Activities: Goodwill is one of the few organizations in the Austin area able to handle groups up to 50 for volunteer projects. Whether small or large, our GreenWorks program can accommodate your group, and is ideal for a teambuilding exercise. Volunteers participate in the de-manufacturing process of donated computer systems that will be resold or recycled. Your afternoon of service will include a tour of the Goodwill Community Center, training and practice in de-manufacturing, and a visit to Goodwill’s Computer Museum. Donating your time as a volunteer will directly benefit the environment by helping Goodwill ensure responsible management and recycling of donated systems. Each month, Goodwill's Environmental Business Services processes 250 tons of e-waste for either resale or recycle - diverting these end-of-life systems from landfills. Revenue generated from Goodwill’s recycling efforts support job services and programs that connect Central Texans to meaningful employment. Please call or email to set up an appointment.
