About this event
- Free venue parking
Community Health Workers, Social Service Providers, AmeriCorps Members (Former & Current), and Volunteers all willingly give for the betterment of their communities. Oftentimes, this work can overextend our individual capacities making it feel like overflow. But through these series of summer R&R (Relax & Restore) events, we want you to release these stressors and relate to one another. Because our health matters. As a CHW organizing this event, we're all doing this work together and can often overfill our cup. These events are intended for those in these fields to rebalance.
ScriptHOPE will curate reflection stations that invite you to write and script your stories of perseverance and resiliency.
Each free event includes a themed Build Your Own Brunch (BYOB) Board featuring some of your favorite brunch items! And we'll have free swag to continue your R&R experience at home.
In collaboration with @atxamericorpsalums, @youmightbeachw, join us for a Sunday Funday midday restoration.

Frequently asked questions
Blu Dot offers parking validation and you can park in the AMLI on Second. Also, City of Austin still offers free street parking on Sundays. So you have options! All major bus routes stop within walking distance at Republic Square. Use bus 803 or 2 for closest walkability.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of these events we want this to be a celebration of YOU. However, there are upcoming ScriptHOPE programs that welcome everyone. Checkout the Organization Page for details! Four-legged pets are welcome.
Please inform us about any major allergies ahead of time, please. We will do our best to accommodate these needs, if we're informed well in advance.
That's perfectly okay! Bring a photo of yourself or someone that you cherish, preferably positioned in a profile.
You get to mix and match ingredients and it is possible to build a vegan plate, indeed!
