Volunteer with Academy 4
Serve with Academy 4!
Academy 4 is a local nonprofit organization that pairs 4th grade students in economically disadvantaged schools with a mentor. Students meet with their mentors monthly for 90 minutes to walk through a leadership development curriculum from which they learn a new leadership trait each month (Listen, Encourage, Attitude, Develop, Example, Respect, Serve). Through the simple vehicle of a positive relationship with a dependable adult, 4th grade students gain a greater sense of self-worth, a positive view of the future, increased engagement in school, and encouragement for greater academic achievement.
Westover has been volunteering with Academy 4 since 2018, and our volunteers are paired with students at Pillow Elementary School. We serve together one Friday each month. This is a great way to share God’s love with young people in Austin.
If you are interested in volunteering with Academy 4 alongside 40+ other Westover members:
Please email Glenn Scott (tglennscott86@gmail.com) or complete the form on Westover’s Serve page.
When you volunteer with Academy 4, you have the option to mentor (which is what most people do) or you may also lead a club.
Club Leaders lead clubs from 11:30am-1:00pm. Clubs are themed around topics like American Sign Language, cooking, engineering, financial literacy, and golf.
Mentoring occurs from 1:00pm-2:30pm.
All volunteers meet at Pillow Elementary, 3025 Crosscreek Drive, Austin, TX 78757

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Mission Trip
This is an exciting new opportunity for Westover to connect and work with teens in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Igreja da Vitoria Church of Christ in the heart of Rio de Janeiro has a growing sports ministry with Brazilian youth in the city. This June, Westover is helping lead a retreat for the youth program, for the purpose of helping teens connect with Christ and with one another, and as an outreach tool so that more young people learn about the work Igreja da Vitoria is going. Talk with Ricky Mata (mata.ricardo.e@gmail.com) for more information or to save your spot.
Lima, Peru Mission Trip
Every summer for over 20 years, Westover has sent a team of volunteers to Lima, Peru. This year's trip is June 30th through July 8th. The purpose of the visit is to produce a giant VBS for students in a poor community outside Lima. In partnership with a school and children's home, we build relationships with students, share the love of Christ, encourage the staff, play sports, explore STEM projects, and much more. Over the years, many young people have given their lives to Christ. It is an honor for Westover to be part of this amazing transformation of young hearts and lives. Want to get involved? Here are 2 ways:
☝️ Join the trip! If you are interested coming to Peru, please attend the informational meeting on Sunday, February 8th, right after worship in the Library at Westover. Or if you missed/can't make the meeting, just talk to Cyndy Miller.
✌️ Volunteer to help prep! With over a thousand students participating in programs, we have A LOT of supplies and materials to prep in advance. Every Wednesday, from 11am to 2pm, volunteers meet in the Library at Westover to help out. Talk to Cyndy if you want to help, or just show up!
