West Austin Rotary supports Adopt-a-School enriching Wooldridge Elementary in Austin with mentoring, books, and financial aid. This Austin Independent School District campus is challenged with a large number of "at risk" children lacking both physical and parental resources to assure their optimum development. West Austin Rotary actively assists these students supplementing the dedicated faculty and staff. Our personal involvement brightens the children's days and enriches ours. We hold a regular Rotary meeting at the school each year; it is a highlight for our membership. Our traveling Rotarians bring banners from clubs all over the world and present them to the school at this annual meeting. The Children mount them on large section of wall and study the locations, customs, and economics of our far flung contacts.

We provide various scholarships to students at all levels and support Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) recognizing outstanding students. West Austin Rotary works with the many clubs of District 5870 inviting high school leaders to attend a conference on leadership held each year.

Shots for Tots calls on West Austin Rotary to provide people power for annual inoculation drives protecting our young people. We help with scheduling, check in, check out, and all the logistics of this event.

West Austin Rotary Foundation provides financial support for projects and organizations in central Texas. We organized this Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) charitable foundation a number enabling us to support a number of Central Texas organizations. The Foundation's Board reviews applications for grants and actively follows the success our resources bring. We support sports programs for youth providing uniforms and other athletic gear for children otherwise unable to participate. We've supported refugees from Kosovo and children in foster care from abused homes. Numerous charitable agencies that specialize in needs of children receive our grants.
