Overview of Idea

Positive Footprint is a fun, free volunteer organization for high school students that want to give back to their community. Last year our first group completed $15,000 worth of work throughout Austin, Texas. With your vote, we want to raise the bar to over $75,000 worth of work this year.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

With $5,000 we’d be able to fund 5 high school volunteer groups that would meet monthly throughout the school year. This would result in over 3500 volunteer hours in support of organizations and individuals in need throughout Central Texas.

Last year Positive Footprint helped fuel organizations such as Mobile Loaves & Fishes, The Capital Area Food Bank, The Texas Ramp Project, Austin’s Good Cookies, Foundation Communities and Family Eldercare with over 600 volunteer hours.

So far we have the applications from interested students, the know-how and the drive to do this, but we need your vote and help spreading the word, to make it a reality.

Great idea to get the word out by handing out cold water on the Ladybird Lake hike-and-bike trail! Good luck and thanks! Lesa

what a wonderful effort - one that should certainly be supported. I wish it had been available when my twin boys were high school age.
