The Rhino Bunny Academy Work Station™
A real place to do the work — The Work Station (Expected 2028). Timing is a goal, not a guarantee.
Everything we teach, under one roof
Right now the academy lives in workshops, events, and living rooms. The Work Station is the next step: a dedicated space where participants can sit down, pull up their documents, ask a question out loud, and actually do the work.
Not a coffee shop with wifi. A room built specifically for the three things we teach — credit readiness, homebuyer preparation, and creative projects.
Four rooms, three pathways, one mission
Each space maps to something the academy already does — just with a door, a desk, and a scheduled time.
The Readiness Desk
Sit down with your credit reports, your budget worksheet, and your questions. Private, unhurried, and built for the Smart Credit and Homebuyer pathways — the paperwork part nobody wants to do alone at a kitchen table.
The Workshop Room
Home for Power Hour sessions, homebuyer education, credit workshops, and guest professionals — lenders, housing counselors, and inspectors answering real questions in person.
The Creative Studio
Recording, content, and portfolio space for the Austin Creative Initiative — supporting Austin Laughs™, Austin Live Sessions™, and the Veteran Arts Initiative™ between live events.
The Community Table
Open workspace for participants, alumni, and neighbors. Somewhere to plug in, keep working on your 24-month plan, and run into people doing the same thing.
Some things don't happen over email
- Documents get organized when someone's sitting with you. Half of homebuyer readiness is paperwork that never gets started.
- Questions get asked out loud. People who won't send an email about their credit will ask across a table.
- Community is a resource. Participants at month 3 learn a great deal from participants at month 18.
- Creators need somewhere to make things. Not every artist has a room to work in.
- It makes the academy real. A door with a sign on it means something a website cannot.
How we get from here to open
- 2026 — Build the ProgramsRun Power Hour sessions, grow the three pathways, and prove the model with real participants before signing a lease.
- 2026–2027 — Location & PartnersIdentify the space, line up community partners and sponsors, and confirm what the build-out actually requires.
- 2027–2028 — Build-OutFit the rooms to the programs: readiness desk, workshop room, creative studio, community table.
- Expected 2028 — Doors OpenFounding participants and alumni first. The interest list below is where that starts.
Being straight with you: The Work Station is planned, not built. Dates, location, layout, and pricing may change as the project develops. Joining the interest list is not a reservation, a membership, or a purchase — it just means we'll tell you first.
Be first to know
Tell us how you'd use the space. What we hear shapes what we build — and founding participants get first access when the doors open.
Building Opportunity. Strengthening Families. Creating Futures.
Until then, the work is already open
You don't have to wait for a building to start your 24 months.
