Austin Coming Together (ACT)
Austin Coming Together (ACT) is a member based 501(c)3 organization whose primary goal is to increase the collective impact of our 50+ member organizations in improving education and economic development outcomes for the Austin community. We also operate the Austin Community Hub where we use short-term counseling to refer families to everything from workforce training or educational opportunities, to childcare or housing assistance. The Hub team hosts virtual Hub 101 info sessions on ACT’s Facebook page so Austin residents can stay informed of the various resources and opportunities available to them through the Hub. Watch past Hub 101 sessions on our YouTube channel.
Furthermore, our support of massive community-led efforts like Austin's first-ever quality-of-life plan called Austin Forward Together, helps us empower community stakeholders to collectively create a thriving Austin.
In addition to supporting residents, ACT has been providing backbone support for a member network of public, private, nonprofit, and faith-based organizations since 2010.
