Current Volunteer Opportunities

Want to use that innate artistic ability you know you possess to do charity work? We know you do! We are in need of folks to paint Kaylee parasols, and that just might be the creative, charity outlet you're seeking. We'll provide the parasols, but as a volunteer, you will need to provide your own paint and, of course, painting skill!

We will need some parasols completed in time for upcoming conventions, so the sooner you can work your artistic magic, the better!

Apply today and let the creatin' begin!

The Austin Browncoats are in need of volunteer grant writers. If you are interested in helping research, prepare and submit grant applications, please apply now.

The Austin Browncoats need some knitting help. Many of you heard about our knit-a-thon at Dragon*Con 2008. Claudia knit 12 hats during the course of booth hours, which is an impressive feat. The hats are so popular that we have pre-orders coming in weekly. We're looking for individuals that are interested in helping us knit hats for charity. For more information about the charities we support, visit: Austin Browncoats Charity.

We will provide you with a starter kit, that will include the pattern or pattern and yarn (according to if you want to donate your knitting time or your knitting time AND yarn). We will provide receipts to all knitters to document time, as well as monetary donations.

We are in need of knit wool and acrylic hats, but are not in need of crocheted Jayne hats currently. We are working on being able to provide acrylic yarn, but as of right now, we can only provide wool yarn.

If you can't knit, but would like to help us make Jayne hats for charity, think of this:

$15 makes 3 Jayne hats.

By donating $15 to the Austin Browncoats, you are helping us produce three Jayne hats. That $15 turns into over $100 that goes straight to Kids Need To Read, Equality Now and our other supported charities.
