About

Volunteer for the 2019 NAMIWalks Central Texas

NAMI Central Texas invites you to play an important role in its 2019 NAMIWalks, our biggest fundraiser and the largest mental health awareness event in Central Texas. Proceeds from the annual Walk help us provide FREE community mental health education, support, and advocacy programs for families and individuals impacted by mental illness as well as training and presentations for the schools, workplaces, faith communities, and neighborhoods that support them. 

If you're looking for a rewarding and fun way to support the mission and work of NAMI Austin, volunteering with NAMIWalks is a perfect way to make an impact. Your help makes it possible for us to expand our outreach in the community.

We are looking for volunteers to assist on Walk Day, Saturday September 28, 2019. Opportunities and times vary for Saturday morning.
