Helping Others and Changing Lives
Volunteers of all ages make a tremendous difference to our community members and our organization. Shalom Austin strives to create accessible and meaningful opportunities for adults and families to engage in volunteer activities driven by our Jewish values of Tikkun Olam, repairing our world.
INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING?
Volunteers allow Shalom Austin to fulfill its mission to the Jewish community and the greater Austin community. Bringing light to those dark areas of our world, volunteering at Shalom Austin will impact your life as much as those you serve.
There are many ways to give back. Whatever your path to developing your influence on Austin’s Jewish community, we can guide you. By investing time, talent, treasure or all three, through Shalom Austin, your gift and involvement will do more good for more people — including you — than you may have thought possible.
See our volunteer opportunities below. Find an opportunity that speaks to you.

Become a Volunteer Financial Coach
Take this professional development opportunity to get certified in financial coaching – free of charge! By receiving this training and giving your time as a Volunteer Financial Coach, you will be helping others to achieve financial stability and self-sufficiency. All training and coaching will be done online. After you’ve completed the 16 hours of training in spring 2021, you will be asked to coach bi-weekly for 6 months.
To become a Volunteer Financial Coach, contact Arielle Levy at arielle.levy@shalomaustin.org.
