Community Service

Eastside Community Connection (ECC)

• ECC’s Vision is to bring together the University of Texas at Austin and the East Austin communities to end poverty in East Austin and foster a spirit of service throughout the Austin community.
• To meet this significant challenge, ECC will offer emergency food assistance and free educational classes in a variety of subjects to unserved or underserved residents of East Austin.
• By providing food assistance and access to educational classes ECC believes it can improve the health of citizens and provide the education needed to help build this service.
• In addition to helping improve public health and education, ECC involves students from the University of Texas at Austin in every aspect of the center's operations.
• AHV firmly believes that by connecting education and healthcare, communities will build a stronger more vibrant community.

High School Scholarships

• AHV gives an annual scholarship to Students from South Texas.
• The goal of the scholarship is to help South Texas students’ access Tier 1 universities across the country.
• In addition to helping South Texas students to access Tier 1 institutions, the scholarship is also intended to help students who are committed to returning to South Texas. We believe that by encouraging students to return, we can help build a team that builds the local economy, and improves public health.
