Your Impact

Every donation makes a difference. Your support will help us:

• Engage the UT Austin community, both on and off campus, to foster conversations and partnerships that prioritize well-being, such as expanding Operation Naloxone trainings into Austin’s hospitality industry.
• Empower SHIFT Makers, student leaders who craft zero-proof beverages at high-visibility events, through training, professional development, and employment.
• Support academic programs, training, and community building for faculty members and peer mentors in the classroom.
