Civic Engagement

Another cornerstone of the INFEWS Scholar program is public service. Trainees will spend at least 8 hours during a semester volunteering for a local program or nonprofit organization with a connection to agriculture or food security.

  • Volunteering creates future community leaders.
  • Volunteering benefits society.
  • Volunteering addresses the university’s core purpose to “transform lives for the benefit of society.”

Previous civic engagement efforts include working with the following organizations:

  • Urban Roots Farm
  • UT Outpost – Food Pantry and Career Closet
  • UT Office of Sustainability
  • 4-H CAPITAL
  • City of Austin Office of Sustainability
