In high school or college, you could join a choir. But now what? Many of us in our 20's and 30's miss the pleasure of gathering with friends and singing just for the fun of it. That's why we are inviting you to join us as we rediscover a lost American art form called community singing. This is not a choir and you don't even have to be a great singer. You only have to be fun to sing with. We aim to encourage all of Austin to reclaim their capacity to create great fun, community, and music through …

Hello Everyone, I moved here from Southern California and was looking around in the community for a place to give back. I know that there are a lot of places to currently volunteer and the reason for this group is to get a community of people together who have different associations that they care about. I would like to help those individual groups by teaching one another of what each one stands for and how we as a group can help. In the past, it was thought that individuals volunteered strictly …

We will organize a variety of events for our members... or join existing events that promotes social, educational and cultural exchange (for example an event with the opportu …

The Firepit Minyan meets in South Austin backyards to experience Judaism. Though our beliefs range from agnostic to true believer, we embrace the Jewish spirit of humor, arguing with God and the pursuit of menschiness. To paraphrase Mordecai Kaplan: tradition has a vote here, but not a veto. You are invited to join our homey, messy, spiritual, funky, musical, exuberant, all-ages community. We are happy to help you find local Jewish events and resources, but do not announce or host them here; ple …

We're a social group of people who are interested in getting together to chat about honeybees and other pollinators, share books and ideas on the subject and establish some cooperatively managed honeybee colonies around town.

We need to discover more about how we can help them, and make sure they are here to pollinate the flowers and fruits of future generations. While there is limited consensus ab …
