Community Service

Hill Country Region has a long history of community service as well as members stepping up to volunteer their time when needed.

Coming up in March is the Tire Rack Street Survival for teen drivers which HCR will conduct on March 25th. This program is just another example of our Region’s commitment to community service. Members hold classes, work the track and act as instructor/coaches in the cars along side the students.

What does the Region get out of this? The satisfaction that our expert teachers and coaches have provided their personal expertise to young drivers which may save a life.

TRSS requires a great effort for our Region. Lenny Zwik, facilitator for Street Survival has identified a need for an additional six coaches and up to eight general volunteers. 

Tire Rack Street Survival for teens will be held on March 25, 2023 at the Public Safety Training Center located at Austin Community College in Kyle.

Please consider volunteering your time and knowledge to support this worthwhile activity. Contact either Lenny at "lzwik@austin.rr.com" or Carl "carl@hcrpca.org".
