These programs invite students, faculty, staff and alumni to think critically about today’s complex social realities and about their responsibilities within them.
Nonprofit and Volunteer Fair
Get Involved Through Service
At the beginning of the academic year, St. Edward’s hosts the Nonprofit and Volunteer Fair. Attendees at the fair can expect to interact with nonprofit organizations from the Austin community, university-sponsored organizations that focus on serving the community, and domestic and international post-graduate volunteer opportunities. Representatives promote volunteer opportunities, internships, and possible jobs within their organizations.
The Nonprofit and Volunteer Fair is a great time to look for that new volunteer opportunity or gain valuable experience in an internship. If you are graduating in May, you may want to stop by and visit with some of the organizations offering post-graduate opportunities.
Some organizations in attendance in the past have included:
- Alliance for Catholic Education
- Amate House
- American YouthWorks
- Caritas of Austin
- Colorado Vincentian Volunteers
- Kinds in a New Groove
- Ronald McDonald House Charities
- Side by Side Kids
- and many more
