Party at the Moontower celebrates the '70s at the South Austin Trailer Park in the glow of an historic moontower at Monroe St (about two blocks away). The Trailer Park parking lot will be open to classic cars and motorcycles among the Torchy's Tacos trailer, Shuggies Burgers & Shakes trailer, La Dee Dah Gifts trailer, and Treat desserts trailer. There will be '70s music, videos, and hazing. Prizes will be given for best '70s outfits, best ride (car, bike...), mustache, cut-offs, and Wooderson look alike. The trailer park is a byob venue. Sales from Shuggies Burgers & Shakes will benefit American YouthWorks in the spirit of the future success of at-promise youth.

American YouthWorks (AYW) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit Green Jobs Training and Education Center located in Austin, Texas, committed to offering high school dropouts and undereducated youth and adults alternatives to welfare and crime. AYW operates a comprehensive program providing education, jobs training, and social services to transform the lives of youth and adults. AYW creates a holistic opportunity for individuals to acquire the life skills needed to succeed in the new, green economy.

American YouthWorks emerged in 1976 as the first program in Austin to recognize the needs of individuals neglected by our educational system. In 1981, AYW established Austin's first program to serve high school dropouts and was the first to offer undereducated youth and adults alternatives to welfare and crime. In the fall of 1996, AYW began one of the first Open Enrollment Charter High Schools in Texas. Over the years, AYW learned from our “customers” to directly address the multiple barriers to the future success of at-promise youth. We realized that the attainment of a diploma or GED alone does not ensure their continued academic and employment success.
