Volunteer Opportunities

Girl Talk Workshops Volunteer

Are you a natural born leader? GENaustin is looking for dynamic, outgoing women who would like to lead workshops with girls in grades 4-12 at local schools. If you are interested in making an impact on girls and enjoy discussing body image, the media, healthy relationships, or friendships, please fill out a volunteer form.

Conference Advocates

GENaustin is looking to build off of the success of We Are Girls 2010 by expanding to reach even more young women, parents, and educations in 2011. In order to do this, we are looking for Conference Advocates across the state to promote the conference on the local level. This would involve spreading the word about We Are Girls 2011, communicating with GENaustin via email to receive updates, working with your local PTA, schools, churches, and youth organizations, and distributing marketing materials within your community. Volunteers for this opportunity can complete their commitment remotely across Texas.
