Volunteer With Us Image

Volunteer With Us

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for The Salvation Army! The Austin area has thousands of non-profits and we are glad you chose to volunteer with us. Our dedicated team of volunteers play a key role in The Salvation Army’s goal to provide support and the very best social services, to give aid wherever and whenever needed.

You must have an interest in giving back to the community, and be willing and able to work as part of a great team of other volunteers and staff members. Your time and commitment are essential to the success of our organization.

We are unable to provide court mandated or attorney recommended community service.

SHELTER & SERVICE CENTER SUPPORT

The Salvation Army Austin offers opportunities year-round where you can share your time and get involved in our family shelters and/or service center. If you are interested in becoming a regular volunteer at our shelters or service center, follow the steps below. 

1. Create a volunteer profile. The information requested is thorough, but necessary for the safety of our clients.

Create Profile

2. Sign-up to receive a background check and Safe from Harm training. Regular volunteers at our shelter and service center must pass a background check and go through our Safe from Harm training before working directly with our clients.

Sign-Up

Once you have completed these steps, our volunteer coordinator will reach out to you!

More Opportunities

For more opportunities and events that would not require a background check or Safe from Harm training as you will not work directly with clients, please click the button below. We frequently update this page with the most current opportunities, needs, and one-time shifts.
