Austin Junior Forum (AJF) is a dedicated group of volunteers committed to making a positive impact in the Austin community by supporting women, children, and the elderly through hands-on service and fundraising efforts. Since our founding, we have worked tirelessly to foster meaningful connections and provide resources where they’re needed most.

We are proud to be featured in KUT’s Get Involved Spotlight, showcasing the work we do in the community and how you can get involved. Check out the full spotlight here.

Our support extends through:
✨ Volunteering & Grant Awards: We partner with local organizations, offering both our time and funding to help strengthen their missions.
? Fur Responders Program: Our Teddy Bear Program provides comforting stuffed animals to children involved in traumatic situations, distributed through local public safety agencies.
? Christmas at the Caswell House: Our signature annual fundraiser transforms the historic Caswell House into a holiday wonderland, with festive shopping and events that raise funds for our grants program and the ongoing preservation of the home.

AJF is also the proud steward of the Daniel H. Caswell House, a stunning Victorian home built at the turn of the 20th century. Restored and preserved by AJF since 1979, the Caswell House is a Texas Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it serves as a hub for community events and a beautiful venue for weddings and celebrations.

Through service, stewardship, and community, AJF continues to leave a lasting legacy in Austin. ❤️
