Austin Galano Club

Austin Galano Club AGC is a non-profit corporation formed to serve the LGBTQA+ recovering community of the Austin area.

The Austin Galano Club (AGC) is a non-profit corporation formed to serve the recovering community of Austin and surrounding areas, specifically for the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender community, their allies, and serving all 12-step based programs and related activities. The club is focused on providing a facility and operational support for the meeting spaces for such groups, as well as prov

iding social, community education, and service opportunities to the group members served. The club will operate to further provide a place for the recovery community to have a safe, affordable, comfortable place to gather, whether for a meeting or for social purposes. Although focused on serving the GLBTQ Recovery Community, AGC welcomes all persons in recovery, or supporting those in recovery, without regard to race, color, creed, or sexual identity or orientation. While new meetings are forming all the time, AGC currently serves 23 recovery groups from 15 anonymous fellowships, with 45 regular weekly meetings. Roughly 750 people per week from the community participate in meetings at AGC, and take advantage of the social space for fellowship, step work, and service work. AGC also hosts special events for the groups that meet there, and those serving the community at large with fundraisers and social gatherings. Join us in the coffee bar for fellowship, utilize the sponsorship area for 1:1 meetings, search for work/home/stepwork on one of the computers, or just hang out on the patio among all the flowers and plants (planted and cared for by our members). The love here is overflowing…we are continually humbled and grateful for what the community has produced.

Huge appreciation to everyone who showed up for Spring Day of Service.

You scrubbed and polished, rolled paint, trimmed plants and trees, spruced up the flowerbeds, sorted and simplified—every corner got attention. The place feels lighter, brighter, and more cared for.

And yes, we wrangled that pesky water leak with a big assist from the City of Austin. 👷🏼‍♂️

Because of you, this space reflects who we are: welcoming, alive, and something to be proud of.

🌟 February Volunteer of the Month 🌟
This month we are celebrating — and saying farewell (for now!) — to our February Volunteer of the Month, Christian C.
Christian has been such an incredible help at the coffee bar. He has shown up last minute when we needed coverage, stepped in without hesitation, and gave his time generously — even when he didn’t need the hours toward his community service.
Now that we’ve begun partnering with Travis County, we’ve had the opportunity to work with many new individuals completing community service. If they were all like Christian, we’d try to keep them forever.
But just like our members who move on from their coffee bar service work, Christian is on to whatever is next for him — and we know he’s going to do great things 💪
Thank you, Christian, for your willingness, reliability, and positive attitude. You made a difference here, and we’re grateful for the time you gave us.

27 years ago, I had pain and sorrow. I reached out my hand and my old colleague and friend, Richard Lewis, reached out and took my hand. The miracle of sobriety is that it just takes one other person to relate to how you're feeling and THAT can change everything. Richard introduced me to many others and for these 27 years I have met so many people who share our common link of addiction and recovery from that daily prison. I'm honored to be open with strangers, many who know me better than people I have spent my entire life with, and I try to honor all of their courage and strength, and hope daily and do what Richard did, which is reach my hand out to others in need. I miss my friend but his gift to me IS the gift that keeps on giving. .foundation
