Project Coordinator

ATX KIDS CLUB is an Austin-based non-profit that empowers youth through educational adventures that promote independence, confidence, and a deeper connection to their community—one field trip at a time. Our program and curriculum is designed to provide safe and enriching camps where kids gain independence, confidence, and curiosity. Riding public transportation, discovering cultural landmarks, visiting local parks, and engaging in hands-on activities—our participants don't just see Austin and the Central Texas region, they experience it.

Culture: We are committed to cultivating an organizational culture that is deeply rooted in our core values of respect, integrity, and honesty. We create and implement programs with a keen awareness of cultural differences and treat all campers, staff, volunteers, and community partners with respect and appreciation.
