volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of Austin Bat Cave, and we are always looking for writers, educators, creative professionals, university students, and others to join our team! Volunteers work with students in groups and one-on-one to develop their creative and expository writing skills, and our students benefit from our volunteers’ interests, talents, passionate mentorship, and individual feedback. Don’t have any teaching experience? Don’t worry, we’ll help you with that.

COVID-19 Update: Though the majority of ABC programs are now back in-person, we continue to offer virtual volunteering opportunities! Our volunteer community—no longer bound to place—is expanding to include writers and educators from around the country. Creative writing, and its ability to help us process,  transfigure, and transcend the world around us, is more essential now than ever. To get involved, fill out our volunteering form below and let us know if you have any questions.
