Needs From: Volunteer Houston

Are you interested in supporting a community-centered health and wellness event that brings together education, movement, and access to care?

ROCK Wellness Weekend 2026 is a two day event hosted by The AIP BIPOC Network focused on health equity, chronic illness, and practical support for underserved communities.

The weekend includes two distinct experiences. The ROCK Summit is a learning focused day designed for healthcare professionals, wellness practitioners, and community health workers. ROCK the Block is a community health and resource expo centered on movement, activities, and connection.

Volunteers are essential to making this weekend run smoothly. Roles include event setup and breakdown, registration and check in, attendee flow and wayfinding, movement and activity area support, and general event assistance. Volunteer needs span both days of the weekend.

All volunteers are required to attend one of two virtual logistics meetings prior to the event. A recording and written summary will be made available for those unable to attend live. Final roles and schedules will be shared closer to the event and are subject to change.

Learn more about ROCK Wellness Weekend at www.aipbipoc.org/rock-wellness-weekend.

About Upbring: Upbring is a leading Texas-based, faith-inspired nonprofit organization. At Upbring, we’re determined to create a world where all children feel cherished and loved.

This is a fun event featuring a variety of tastes from American, Indian, Mexican, Italian, Thai, and much more, along with live music and entertainment.

Invite neighbors to support the campaign through donations

These people need to be willing to come out for at least a few hours and be willing to run, walk, and hide from the dogs in all different types of scenarios. When found by the dog, they should also be willing to play with the dog per the handler's instructions or offer the dog it's treat reward. It is a lot of fun and a unique experience to help these dogs out!

You'll be provided with a location to walk to in order to "hide" from the canines. The canines will then come find the missing person. Of course, you will never actually be missing, but we always need new people to pretend to be missing. We will be enjoying nature, so dress appropriately with closed-toed shoes and comfortable pants. Be sure to bring water, sunscreen, bug spray and maybe a good book or electronic device to keep you busy during the down time. All high school students or older are welcome to participate. Feel free to view our website to see what we are about: www.AlphaSar.org.

A confirmation email will be sent after sign-up to confirm your volunteer slot. A waiver will be attached. Any participants under 16 years old will need to be accompanied by an adult during their volunteer time.

Healthy bird populations are an indicator of a healthy Bay.

Join the Galveston Bay Foundation for a monthly bird survey led by Texas Master Naturalist and Lead GBF Volunteer, Lisa Hardcastle, at Sweetwater Preserve, a 140-acre GBF property that is not open to the public. This restored site includes coastal prairie, estuarine marsh, salt flats, freshwater wetlands, brackish wetlands, and coastal woodlots, which support a wide variety of resident and migratory birds.

All levels of birders are welcome! Bring your own binoculars and field gear.

Surveys take place on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 a.m. at the end of 103rd Street in Galveston. From there, participants will drive short distances to three survey areas. The survey typically lasts three to four hours, but volunteers may leave early if needed.

No restrooms on site. Conditions can vary, so wear closed-toe shoes (boots recommended) and bring a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water.

DATA COLLECTION
Survey results will be submitted to GBF staff and eBird, and the eBird list will be shared with all registered participants. These data help document species use of restored coastal habitat in the Galveston Bay watershed.
