As Austin’s population grows, open land becomes a key discussion. Throughout Austin’s history, the 250,000 acres overlying the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer (this sounds weird, is it officially this name or is it two places?) has been divided between the area’s business and environmental interests. The solution became Hill Country Conservancy which created a coalition of leaders between the business and environmental communities. The nonprofit's mission is to help facilitate communication between both parties in order to protect our land and our economy.In this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Charlie and Kyle chat with Adrienne Longnecker, the Chief Operation Officer and Director of Development of Hill Country Conservancy. We talk about one of Charlie’s favorite trail systems, the Violet Crown Trail. Kyle shows off his vocabulary and understanding of the word easements. Finally, did you know Texas has invasive species?
Established in 1991, Art From the Streets has helped hundreds of people experiencing homelessness form an art community. The wonderful artists at the heart of the organization attend weekly studio sessions. Through Art From the Street's online store and annual art show each artist receives a majority of the profits from their work.
In this episode of Everyday Superhumans, Kyle and Charlie chat with Executive Director Kelley Worden. Kelley talks about the history of Art From the Streets and the sense of community it gives to everyone involved, from the volunteers to the artists. We also talk about the common misconceptions of people experiencing homelessness and how Art from Streets is finding creative ways to reach out to the artists in a time of social distancing.
Austin Wildlife Rescue has been helping keep Austin wild since 1977. Austin Wildlife Rescue rehabilitates and releases orphaned, sick, and injured wild animals and educates the public to coexist with wildlife.
In this episode of Everyday Superhumans Charlie and Kyle chat with the Hayley Hudnall, Executive Director of Austin Wildlife Rescue, about the nearly 8,000 animals AWR took in during 2019 as well as common misconceptions about wild animals and how you can help them. We often forget that the animals came before the neighborhoods and we are infringing on their territory. AWR helps us live together in harmony with education about protection and rehabilitation for the animals.

In the very first remote interview of Everyday Superhumans, Charlie & Kyle chat with Amy Loar, the Executive Director of Generation SERVE, about how families can have fun volunteering together even while at home. Generation SERVE is building a society of future superhumans and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of their journey.
Generation SERVE inspires youth aged 3 to 17 to focus on volunteerism and empowers them to make a difference in their community. Established originally in 2009, the nonprofit has 100 nonprofit partnerships, allowing youth and their families to consistently serve the environment, animals, seniors, and individuals and families in need.
In this moment of hardship it is best to look for the helpers, to paraphrase the late and great Fred Rogers. While we practice social distancing measures, Generation SERVE carries his message with their Helping While at Home initiative. The only requirement for volunteering is action and creativity.
