Every year, United Way adopts a Public Policy Agenda outlining the legislative priorities that are crucial to advancing our mission to break economic barriers and build opportunity for all. Your involvement and your voice will help ensure that United Way’s public policy priorities are top of mind for the Central Texas delegation and other key legislators.

Join us as a volunteer advocate! As a United Way for Greater Austin advocate, you can get involved in a variety of ways – like gaining education about an issue, raising public awareness about an issue, and talking to elected officials.
