      Saturday Learning Center

Saturdays are great volunteer days at Any Baby Can.  During Saturday classes, volunteers help tutor children and parents in literacy, math and English skills and/or supervise children during parenting classes. This program is every Saturday at the ABC offices from 9:15am- 4:00pm. Once we receive your volunteer application and approved background check, you are free to volunteer whenever your schedule allows.  

Come on in on any Saturday, and we'll put you right to work. You will receive on site training and support. When you arrive, ask for Ruth Wells, Saturday Learning Center director. You don't have to call or email before you come as long as you have completed the Volunteer Application and Background Check. Our offices are located at 1121 E. 7th, which is 3 blocks east of I-35. Bus route Montropolis #4 from downtown (Congress.)

This is a great way to get your GROUP involved with ABC. Student, civic and church groups can join in and impact Austin through ABC events. We often need help with pre-event and post-event activities!

Turn Key Volunteer Projects

Any Baby Can Turn Key Volunteer Projects offer an opportunity for volunteers to take charge of their own projects, using their own space, time, and resources.  We call these “Turn Key Kits” and they involve purchasing or collecting items and assembling kits designed to address clients’ needs.  Turn Key Kits are a great way for groups to work together to create something tangible that directly benefits clients in need.  We welcome additions and suggest packaging each kit in an appropriate, easy to store/transport bag or container. Kits can be delivered to the Any Baby Can office at 1121 East 7th Street. For questions, contact us at volunteer@abcaus.org or call 512-334-4432.

The following flyers are a great resrouce. Use them as reference for yourself or distribute to volunteer groups:
