SUMMARY:Storytelling for Creatives
DESCRIPTION:A workshop about finding the language for your practice. Learn how to shape your artist’s story without forcing it into a brand. \n\n\n\n\nHow you talk about your work matters just as much as the work itself. Whether you’re applying for opportunities\, speaking about a project\, or introducing yourself to someone new\, having a clear sense of your story helps people connect with what you create\, and why you create it. \nThis workshop is about finding the language for your practice. Learn how to shape your artist’s story without forcing it into a brand\, and how thoughtful storytelling can become a practical PR tool. Guest Speaker Fabiana Meléndez Ruiz will discuss how to put together a compelling narrative\, write an artist bio and statement\, build a simple press kit\, and share your work in ways that feel authentic rather than performative. \nThis is less about selling and more about telling the story only you can tell\, while giving people a way in. \nYou can get your free ticket here. \nAbout Fabiana Meléndez Ruiz \nFabiana Meléndez Ruiz is a Venezuelan-American communications strategist\, storyteller\, and co-founder & CEO of Refuerzo Collaborative\, a Latina-owned agency nurturing stories that reinforce community. With experience spanning top agencies\, in-house leadership\, and her own firm\, she has landed clients in USA Today\, Forbes\, Business Insider\, Architectural Digest\, and Fast Company\, led campaigns that earned industry awards\, and grown media impressions by 197 million in under a year. A 2026 Austin Under 40 finalist\, multi-year Austin Woman Changemaker\, and Top Woman in Communications Rising Star\, Fabiana also serves on multiple civic and nonprofit boards and is deeply committed to mentorship\, ethical leadership\, and amplifying underrepresented voices.

SUMMARY:September 2026 Fix-It Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Attend the Fix-It Clinic where skilled volunteers will teach you how to repair your broken household items. \n\n\n\n\nGot a broken item like a torn shirt\, faulty blender or worn-out toy? Bring them to a Fix-It Clinic and learn hands-on repair skills with help from our expert volunteers—free of charge! RSVP for a time slot here. \nNew policy: We will no longer work on computers\, cell phones\, or tablets at the Fix-It Clinic. These projects often require extensive troubleshooting and take up a lot of our volunteers’ time. Instead\, we encourage you to subscribe to the Fix-It Austin newsletter to receive announcements of upcoming workshops focused on electronics repair\, consult the Austin Reuse Directory to find a professional repair shop\, and/or look for a repair guide on the IFixIt website. \nHow it works: Bring up to two items (excluding computers\, cellphones\, and tablets) and work with our coaches to learn how to fix them. Tools will be provided\, but feel free to bring your own. If you know your item needs a replacement part\, please bring it with you. While we can’t guarantee every item will be repaired\, you’ll learn how it works and what you may need to fix it. Note that our electronics/miscellaneous category is the most popular and sometimes there is a wait to work with a volunteer. \nDrop-off option: Can’t attend in person? Drop off your item at the Turner Roberts Recreation Center (7201 Colonly Loop Dr.)\, September 11-17. We’ll try to fix it\, and you can pick it up September 20-25. Items not claimed by September 25 will be donated. Space is limited\, and a waiver is required.

SUMMARY:Bystander Intervention to Stop Immigrant and Refugee Hate
DESCRIPTION:Hate\, harassment\, and violence against immigrants is on the rise—but everyday people have the power to create safer\, more inclusive communities. Right To Be’s Bystander Intervention to Support Immigrant Communities Training equips participants with the tools to safely and effectively intervene when they witness anti-immigrant hate\, harassment\, or discrimination. \nUsing Right To Be’s 5Ds of Bystander Intervention methodology—Distract\, Delegate\, Document\, Delay\, and Direct—this interactive training empowers participants to take action while prioritizing safety.

Join us to become an active bystander and help build a more just world.
