We are one of the only programs for young adults with disabilities in our area. Our program allows them to gain essential vocational and independent living skills and a sense of purpose and community inclusion. Far too many young adults spend their days at home following high school due to limited opportunities, and we are working to change that. However, there’s still a lot of work to do.

*Currently recruiting fall teachers* If you're compassionate, fluent in English, and can volunteer for 4 hours per week, we want YOU to help a small group of Houston adults learn to speak English. You'll meet some amazing people, experience the joy and fulfillment of helping others succeed, and know that you're making Houston a better place for all of us!

NO prior teaching experience or second language is required. If this volunteer opportunity is for you, we'll train you, match you with a group of adult learners and support you as you get started on the exciting and hugely rewarding activity of helping your neighbors learn English as a second (or third!) language (ESL).

We have a very high need for teachers on Tuesday/Thursday nights for in-person classes meeting in Spring Branch! Training to teach fall classes will be offered in July. Fall classes start in late August.

Agape Homes CDC creates quality affordable housing for diverse communities without concentrating poverty. The Agape Homes CDC goal is to give the families in the Agape Development community an affordable option to own a home. Sponsoring the landscaping and providing the necessary labor to install the landscape items helps keep the cost of the homes at an affordable level while also creating a welcoming space for our new homeowners.

This sponsorship opportunity covers the expenses of all landscape items: trees, sod, bushes, dirt, and mulch. All supplies will be ordered and onsite for your group to complete installation! This project of landscaping one home is best for 5-7 people but can accommodate up to 10. It is estimated to take approximately 3 hours, depending on the speed of your team.

The cost of this sponsorship is $5,000 per home with no limitation on how many homes you can sponsor as they become available and ready for sponsorship.

Volunteers are needed for our See to Succeed initiative beginning the week of October 21, 2024. Through this program, we provide complete eye exams and eyewear at no cost to children in need. We need volunteers who can serve at least one day and will be glad to make a difference in children's lives!

Background on See to Succeed:

The Houston Health Department (HHD) has partnered with the University of Houston, San Jacinto College, Kids Vision for Life (The Essilor Foundation), and the Berkley Eye Center to provide free vision exams and eyewear to children and youth in need.

These vision clinics are held at our 190 Heights Blvd location. Each day we are hoping to serve between 100-150 children.  We need volunteers to help guide and escort the children through the clinic and ensure each child is safe and receives services.

We very much appreciate your interest in See to Succeed and look forward to having you volunteer with us!

Project Saving Smiles reduces the prevalence of tooth decay in underserved children and remove barriers to learning.

This is accomplished by providing dental screenings, dental sealants, fluoride varnish, and oral health education free of charge targeting Houston’s at-risk 2nd graders who are enrolled in schools with 50% or more students on the Free and Reduced Lunch Program.

The 2001 Dental Needs Assessment in Harris County revealed 68% of 2nd graders had untreated decay. It is known that children who suffer from oral health problems cannot learn well and miss days from school. According to the 2000 Surgeon General’s Report, more than 51 million school hours are lost each year due to dental-related illness. Additionally, children who experience pain from tooth problems are likely to be distracted and unable to concentrate on their schoolwork.

Since its inception, Project Saving Smiles has provided dental screening to 98,800 students and applied 217,878 sealants.  The Project also provides oral health education free of charge to pre-k, second grade, middle school and high school students enrolled in a free or reduced lunch program across Houston.

We very much appreciate your interest in Project Saving Smiles and look forward to having you volunteer with us!

We require in-person volunteers who would like to work hands-on with adults with disabilities.

Volunteer tasks include, but are not limited to: 

Our founder, Traci Johnston, spent nearly two decades working as a special education teacher in our community. She saw the lack of opportunities available to her students following high school and the anxiety it caused her and their families. With the help of one of her former students, she created an educational and exciting day program in Deer Park, Next Step Transition Center. As the day program grew, so did the feeling she could do more. She felt the calling to create a program where young adults could continue to grow in their independence and skills. S.T.E.P.S. provides vocational, independent living, and social skills through hands-on experience.

The continued increase of individuals with intellectual, physical, and emotional disabilities has created an even greater need for programs for these individuals following high school. Texas has one of the highest populations of individuals with disabilities at 12.9%, most of whom live in Houston and the surrounding gulf coast region. Our local community, Deer Park, comprises 7.9% of individuals with disabilities, while the surrounding communities of Pasadena and La Porte have 8.1% and 11.6%, respectively. With your support, our program can grow and provide additional opportunities to adults in our community.

The Mentoring Monitor will work with our 20 mentor pairs by checking in once a month via phone/text/email to ensure that all parties are satisfied or if there are any challenges. The position also includes sending a monthly newsletter and setting up a service project activity each semester. When a new volunteer signs up to mentor, we have an orientation that is virtually led by the Mentoring Monitor. We provide a cell phone for this role.

The skills required are the ability to communicate professionally, have consistency in their work, and be comfortable using google docs as this is how we store our information for this role. A person who has a background in working with teens is a plus but is not required.

The position is 75% virtual. We are located in Dickinson off of 517 as well as in Dickinson HS. It is extremely flexible and can offer much in how a non-profit functions as well as working with better understanding how mentorship is powerful! 5 hours per week is what we need but if the potential intern would like other areas to develop, I am open to offering more hours.

We are looking  for volunteers to help us in different roles. 

We need tutors and administrative help. 

There are many different volunteer positions available that would be excellent for someone looking to get more experience on their resume or someone who wants to make a positive impact on the community.
