Interested in helping our organization?
Here are a few suggestions. Contact Kate
Leyendecker or Traci Torres-Mundt
if one of these seem like a good fit for you! A
downloadable Service Hours Form
is provided for your convenience.
Corporate Sponsorship
If you work for a company or are affiliated with a
philanthropic organization interested in supporting
FCC-Austin, we now have a Corporate
Sponsorship Form available. Because we are a
501(c)3 nonprofit organization, such donations are much
appreciated and tax deductible.
Forms
Below are some forms that may be of use to you as a
volunteer or board member:
Start a Playgroup
Find a couple of other families near you and plan a
place and time for regular gatherings. These groups are
the nuts and bolts of our community and it’s always nice
to get together for friendship and support for both
children and parents. Keep it simple and help shore up
our connections.
Volunteer to Help with an Event
Check the web site or newsletter and contact the
coordinator to sign up to help. Obviously, if you have a
specialty, that would be helpful to mention. Current
events include:
- Picnic/Back-to-School Gathering in August
- Moon Festival in September
- Chuy’s Parade in November
- Chinese New Year in February
Newsletter Contributions
Our newsletter is being written by the board of officers
so any additional contributions will ease the
responsibilities quite a bit as we roll into festival
season. We could always use articles regarding:
- A heritage trip about returning to China with your
child
- A book review of a really helpful read that you feel
would be beneficial to other FCC families
Adoption in the Greater Austin Area
Help us connect with other adoption groups or
organizations in the Austin surrounding area. Contact the
leaders of these groups and see what activities they do
and how we could build community there.
Adoption and Schools
The education piece for this year includes making
ourselves available to go to faculty in-service programs
for teachers and make short presentations about adoption
issues and the classroom. This volunteer piece would be
great for a stay-at-home parent who taught school. We
would need someone to make the contacts and schedule the
presentations. We currently have volunteers interested
and willing to make the presentations.
Art on Display
Create a display with artwork or poetry from the FCC
children (from a playgroup?) that can be shown at
various festivals and events we promote.
