- Volunteer Instructor | Senior Program
- We are seeking Volunteer Instructors to lead wellness and education classes for our Senior Program. Activities can include Gentle Yoga, Meditation, Dance, Sewing, Singing, or any other types of activities that can be adapted for people aged 50 years and older. Please note: Volunteers should have experience or training in their proposed activity. Instruction will take place in-person at the AARC at 8401 Cameron Road during Senior Program hours, which is held Monday-Thursday from 10am-1pm. Volunteering as an instructor at the AARC will require direct/interpersonal communication with AARC staff, along with completing a criminal background investigation through the City of Austin's Parks and Recreation Department. If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Instructor, please email Miranda.delaRea@AustinTexas.gov.
Collaborations
The City of Austin Museums & Cultural Programs (MCP) initiates its programs in response to a community need. Non-profits, community groups and individuals may suggest a collaborative program that is relevant to MCP and Austin Parks & Recreations Department mission, values, and audience. Collaborations are city-sponsored programs hosted by the MCP site and presented in tandem with the collaborator. All collaborations are to be offered to the public free of charge and collaborators “volunteer” their service at no cost to the department.
Learn more about the Museums and Cultural Programs Collaborations.
Contract Instructor Program
Austin Parks and Recreation Department utilizes independent contract instructors to provide unique programming services! A contract gives you the ability to offer programs/activities based on the needs and space availability at our Facilities or Parks. Instructional programs/activities may be offered for preschoolers, school age children, teens, adults, families and seniors in a learning environment for participants. Class fees are set by the contractor and a percentage is paid back to the city.
Class proposals may select the Asian American Resource Center as your preferred location or other Austin Parks and Recreation facilities. Proposals will be reviewed and accepted based on site need, demand, and capacity.
Learn more and complete a class proposal at the Contract Instructor Program webpage.
Donations
Due to space limitations, the AARC is not currently accepting donations of any kind.
