There are several ways to get involved! Help register friends, family and the broader community to vote ahead of the October 7th deadline by becoming a Volunteer Deputy Registrar or support one of five Parades to the Polls when a critical mass of students, faculty, and staff members gather for a Get Out the Vote Party on an ACC campus near you!

"The Caminos are high-schoolers passionate about pursuing a creative career that can make a palpable difference in their communities. They are also very curious about learning more about Latin American and Indigenous cultures in the Americas and sincerely want to serve other teens by creating content and events that are relevant and enriching. In so doing, they become Ambassadors of Latinx culture in Austin while receiving precious professional development and empowerment along the way." ACC students have an exciting opportunity to work together with the Caminos to make costumes for the Mexic-Arte Museum's Viva la Vida Parade and colorful benches for the Mexican-American Cultural Center!

Help distribute food on ACC campuses with the Central Texas Food Bank and other area partners.  The commitment is 1.5 - 3 hours with no training necessary.

Minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is age 21+. Each adult can chaperone 1 minor.  Volunteers do not need to register in advance--you're free to show up and help.
