Needs From: Volunteer Houston

One of our goals at Jones Park is to support native wildlife by returning the forest to its native state. Historically, this area was a mix of prairies and woodlands with a more open understory. This ecosystem is dependent on disturbance, which at one time would have been provided by bison grazing and fires caused by either lightning, indigenous people, or settlers. The exclusion of these disturbances has created unregulated growth of invasive plant species that choke out native trees and grasses.

By manually removing the overgrown and non-native plants, we can recreate the effect of natural disturbances like grazing and fire. This allows for regeneration of the historical understory and mid-story vegetation, which can then be supported by planting of additional native trees. Increasing native plant diversity leads to an increase in the diversity of insect species, which then results in an increase in the diversity of birds and small mammals, too.

Join the Jesse Jones Park Eradicators to remove invasive plant species and restore native habitats of Jones Park. Invasives Beware! meets in the Nature Center at 9 a.m. on the third Saturday of every month.

Each year, more than 1,000 people contribute to the cultural vibrancy of this great city by donating their time to the MFAH. Men and women of different backgrounds, from high school students to retirees, help the Museum to meet its goal of bringing art into the lives of people throughout Houston’s communities. At the MFAH, volunteer opportunities encompass a broad range of abilities and interests. Options include leading tours of the Museum galleries, helping in the gift shop, assisting with clerical duties, greeting guests, and facilitating children’s art projects.

To become an MFAH volunteer, first complete and submit an online application. Next, you will be invited to attend an orientation session. This important step is required for all prospective volunteers so that you can learn about the available opportunities, tour volunteer areas of the Museum, and meet the Volunteer Services Department staff. 

Volunteers can fundraise through an event called a Salaam Supper. This can take the form of different ideas from a potluck in a home, an educational cooking class with a former refugee, or a pre-set menu tied to a specific donation ask. Salaam Suppers are a great way of getting community members together to learn more about refugees. You can see more information on Salaam Suppers here: Information for the Salaam Supper.

Volunteers will arrange a donation drive for items such as hygiene items, school supplies, small household items, or baby items. The goal of the drive is to create Welcome Kits for refugee families. We will provide you with a Welcome Kit List and Guide. We suggest gathering kits from one of the two options below.

1) Separate each category on the Welcome Kit List into separate containers of your choice. Ideas for containers include, but are not limited to: plastic bins, reusable grocery bags, or boxes.

2) Include all of the items on the Welcome Kit List into one container of your choice. Ideas for containers include, but are not limited to: plastic bins, reusable grocery bags, or boxes.

The average family size consists of five people, two adults and three children. We leave the option open for groups to decide which of the two are more convenient for your group in gathering the supplies.

TWST4GIRLS is interviewing event volunteers. You will be working TWST4Girls events, helping with set up, running of, and takedown of events. Events occur monthly, on the weekends, and last 4 to 6 hours. This is a great way to be involved in an awesome organization without committing to weekly hours.

ORGANIZATION:

We offer life skills development, skillfully matched female mentors, career exploration, as well as intellectual and cultural exposure at no cost to the youth that we serve!

Youth graduate TWST’s Core Program as well-rounded young women who are purposeful, self-sufficient, and equipped with the tools needed to excel in life.

WHO WE NEED:

We are looking for volunteers who possess all or most of these qualities:

This is an ongoing need as TWST4Girls is a growing organization and is always looking for dedicated volunteers who are willing to serve in different ways.

While clients are in meetings or at class they are allowed to leave their children in our child watch program. The child watch program is from 8:30AM-1pm Monday through Friday. The child watch volunteer supervises and plays with the children. We are looking for a child watch volunteer to fill the spot from December 26th to January 8th. 

As conditions are slowly improving we are excited to announce that the MS Society’s first in-person event will be a one-day version of our Bike MS: Texas MS 150 event which will be taking place on May 1st. If you are comfortable with it, we would love for your support as we start to transition back to in-person events.

Historically, thousands of riders and hundreds of volunteers come together to make our Bike MS: Texas MS 150 event a possibility. While things will look very different this year, we are dedicated towards having a great event that makes a tremendous impact in our fight against MS. The event previously featured a route that started in downtown Houston and finished in downtown Austin. However, this year we are riding on a brand new route! We will have joint starts in both La Grange and Houston which will lead all riders to finish on Kyle Field in College Station!

 With the event only a few months away, we would love for your help potentially volunteering and in engaging the community as a whole. We will have a variety of volunteer opportunities at our Houston-area start locations and in the weeks leading up to the event. Responsibilities can include anything from site set-up to serving food to organizing the groups of our riders and shifts can be as short as four hours. This event would be a great  opportunity to help us launch into our new normal of in-person events while helping those living with MS.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in serving with us, feel free to explore our volunteer registration home page. You can use the tabs and/or links found on this page to navigate through the volunteer opportunities and find shift times, role descriptions, the number of volunteers needed, and our COVID-19 protocols.

Out-of-this-world opportunities to make a real difference await you at Space Center Houston! Whether it’s on the museum floor or behind the scenes, we have a position to fit your interests.

As a volunteer, you’ll have a positive impact not only on Space Center Houston, but also on the local and global communities we serve. Volunteer in our education programs inspiring the astronauts and engineers of tomorrow, help our staff welcoming guests from around the globe, or play a vital role in both daytime and evening special events.

Learn about the space program and share your knowledge with our guests as they explore our attractions.

We wish to give you a voice and offer every student and expressive individual to participate in our Creative Activism Project. Through videos and images with #HTXCreativeActivism, share your thoughts, concerns, and wishes creatively about Social Justice. We invite everyone to contribute through Social Media and submit your pictures/videos/art to our museum. The created artifacts would then be exhibited at our museum. 

We, the CCMH, join other Museums in the District to say: We support "Black lives matter." so they can be part of "All lives matter."

As a society, we were witnesses of intolerance and are still witnessing injustice against different communities; this concerns religious, gender, class, or race-based groups.

We firmly believe that injustice should not be just recognized but be addressed and systematically stopped. But how can it be done constructively? If it concerns the rights of diverse religious, cultural, racial, or LGBTQ communities, it is essential to have a dialog and find ways to address such critical issues. We can't give just a statement because the time requires it but should be able to openly discuss difficult issues such as Social Justice and serve as a platform to provide healthy ways to address our community's and societies' issues. 

As part of a beautiful and diverse community, we wish to allow everyone to voice their feelings of structural injustice. Today's technological development and possibilities of communication should be used to build a healthy public. We wish to help our growing community with creative methods to process these difficult subjects that are finally openly addressed.

Join us in our mission to give others a voice, create, and address issues to improve our community!

Duties of TWST4Girls' Chief Operating Officer

Planning

Nonprofit COO is part of the executive management team and participates in long-term strategic planning meetings. While the Executive Director and board of directors develop broad mission-oriented goals and objectives, the executive management team helps develop the operating strategies to attain those goals. In these meetings, the COO will provide detailed information to team members regarding the performance capabilities of each department, which she has learned through regular meetings with department heads. 

Monitoring

A nonprofit COO works with individual department heads to monitor their work, not only ensuring each function stays on track to meet its goals, but also making sure each department understands its role in relation to the other departments and the nonprofit’s mission. For example, if the marketing, development and human resources all needed the IT department’s help on projects, the COO would make the call as to which department IT would help first. 

Financial Responsibilities 

The COO would work with each department head and the ED to understand needs and look for solutions during a budget crunch, but would make the final determination regarding issues such as which department gets a new computer and which gets an additional staff member. 

Human Resources 

Works with human resources or ED to ensure the organization meets it staffing needs, including developing plans to maximize volunteer help. Knowing the organization’s personnel capabilities, the COO can determine which projects the organization can pursue, making more effective decisions regarding the operations of different departments. The COO, rather than the ED, might make the final call on hiring, disciplining or terminating certain Directors.
