Join Team Aston realtors as we celebrate Earth Day by cleaning up a stretch of road off FM 150 in Kyle Texas. We will meet at 409 Miller Street for doughnuts and a brief safety talk before heading out. You will be given reflective vests, trash bags and water and asked to focus on a stretch of FM 150 between Jack C. Hays Trail and West Center Street. The end time for this project will depend on how many total participants we have and how much trash there is to pick up. Students can earn service hour credit for this project. We will accept children age 6 and up (all children must be accompanied by an adult chaperone for the entire project.) Volunteers are asked to bring gloves and must wear long pants and closed toed shoes. This project requires you to stand, bend and walk for extended periods of time. Thank you for helping us Keep Texas Beautiful and celebrate Earth Day!

Mission Statement
engAGE Travis County provides pathways to aging well for people 50+, strengthens communities, and fosters civic engagement through volunteering, education, advocacy, and partnerships with public agencies and community organizations.
Description
One of our core programs, RSVP is part of the federal AmeriCorps Seniors program and was founded locally in 1972. Last year more than 17,100 Americans of all ages and backgrounds united to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and expand opportunity through national service in Texas. AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers served at more than 2,400 locations across Texas, including schools, food banks, homeless shelters, health clinics, youth centers, veterans facilities, and other nonprofit and faith-based organizations.
Those who benefit from the work performed by engAGE Travis County and RSVP volunteers include the full spectrum of people from birth to old age, including homeless or isolated people with acute, chronic or terminal illnesses; frail homebound seniors; low-income families; teen mothers; disaster victims; at-risk youth; veterans; people with physical, mental or learning disabilities; and seniors in nutrition programs.
Help your community by offering your unique skills and talents. We’ll recommend ongoing and short-term volunteer opportunities based on your skills and interests, but the choice of where you volunteer and what you do is entirely yours. The benefits of being a volunteer (aged 50 and over) are numerous: travel reimbursement, on-duty accident and liability insurance, life-long learning opportunities, social engagement, recognition, and greetings throughout the year.
