Needs From: Volunteer Houston

BillionGraves is the world's largest GPS-linked cemetery data resource. For more than a decade, volunteers have been taking photos of gravestones to help fulfill BillionGraves' mission to document the world's cemeteries.

As volunteers take photos with the BillionGraves app, each gravestone is automatically marked with a GPS location. The data is then transcribed by volunteers, plotted on cemetery maps, and made readily available at BillionGraves.com for millions of families around the globe to find their ancestors and grow their family trees. 

We need YOUR help! Go to this link to find a cemetery in your area where photos are still needed: https://billiongraves.com/justserve

All you need is a smartphone. It's easy and it's fun!

UAHT has launched a virtual Men’s Accountability Discussion Group to end the demand for sex trafficking and is looking for male participants. The group will use the Stopping Sexual Exploitation: A Program For Men (SSE) curriculum, a non-judgmental program based on principles of social justice and personal transformation. The curriculum -- and discussion group -- explore several topics like the harms of sexual exploitation, power and violence and is open to all men.

UAHT is looking for a total of 12 men to virtually participate in two separate groups -- 6 men per group -- for 10 weeks.

One group will start Tuesday, May 4, and the second group will begin Thursday, June 3. The time commitment will be evenings from 6 to 9 p.m.

Here's what previous participants had to say about the program:

“Amazing facilitators, impassioned [participants], and worthwhile and thought-provoking knowledge learned/shared!”

“It provides a wealth of knowledge and resources for EVERYONE -- an ally or victim."

Upcoming SSE Schedule

May Cohort: Starts Tuesday, May 4, and Ends Tuesday, July 6

June Cohort: Starts Thursday, June 3, and Ends Thursday, Aug. 5

In 2020, United Against Human Trafficking took its fight against sex and labor trafficking virtual, and now we have an amazing library of anti-trafficking materials that begs for the wider audience that captioning provides.

We're seeking volunteers to caption our Outreach and Education videos in English, and at least one volunteer to handle our videos in Spanish. Most of the heavy work will be done by a captioning app, but volunteers with keen ears and an high-level attention to detail will make sure the captions are as accurate as possible.

If you have experience transcribing audio recordings or video editing -- or if you're someone who just knows they're capable of doing the job well -- this may be perfect for you! 

Become part of our completely volunteer-based outreach in high human-trafficking areas! This outreach is crucial to reaching trafficking victims and sharing the Human Trafficking National Hotline in places away from their captors or employers.

Key Responsibilities include:

-- Speaking to businesses on behalf of UAHT and victims on Saturdays as your schedule permits.

-- Displaying the National Human Trafficking Hotline number in restrooms, back offices, kitchens, and storefronts -- places away from victims' captors and/or employers.

-- Entering data after each outreach activity is completed.

All volunteers who want to become part of the Volunteer Outreach Team must complete the orientation and training. (This is separate from the Volunteer Orientation that every volunteer must attend.)

Volunteer Outreach Orientation will cover the key duties, processes, script, impact, and time commitment needed to confidently speak to businesses on behalf of UAHT and trafficking victims.

If weather permits, orientation and training will take place outdoors in a park setting, and when weather doesn't permit, we'll meet in an accommodating coffee shop.

After the Orientation and Training presentation, we will drive to nearby businesses, and each participant will get to train with an experienced volunteer who will share their knowledge of the process.

Human trafficking occurs every day in our own communities. This crime continues to grow in the shadows of our society, and is one of the largest criminal industries in the world.

Victims of trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of sexual exploitation and/or forced labor.

Participants in Red Sand Projects fill cracks in sidewalks with red sand, a symbolic gesture that represents those individuals who fall through the cracks -- whether the cracks of our social, economic, and political systems or those of our personal consciousness.

We at UAHT want to highlight and remember the human trafficking victims who fall through those cracks in the greater Houston area, the very ones we make an effort each day to reach and help.

Our Red Sand Projects are meant to be volunteer-led and community-wide events, so if you'd like to host a project of your own -- whether it's in your neighborhood, your favorite park, your church, or an other public setting you'd like -- we strongly encourage you to do so!

Host a project with your friends and family or a school, community or social group!

Will you join us and host your own project?

We'll provide the red sand and flyers to hand out to passerby! (And if you want additional volunteer help with your project, we'll make every effort to provide it!)

Engaging in art offers a creative process to explore emotions, gain personal insight, and even achieve healing in ways not always possible otherwise, and because of this, we at UAHT are over-the-moon thrilled to offer a series of art classes to the trafficking overcomers!

The six-course, bi-weekly program -- called "The Art of Life" -- will cover a range of artistic expressions -- from collages to intuitive art to self-portraits -- and we are in need of supplies to ensure our participants have all the tools they need to let their creativity flow freely.

Will you help provide materials for this first art class (and others that will follow) with a donation?

ART SUPPLY LIST: Magazines (with a Wide Range of Photos), Newspapers with Color Photos, Non-Personal Photos or Images, Swatches or Small Cuts of Fabric, Glue (Stick and Liquid), Scissors, Colored Paper, Sketch Paper, White Paper, Thick Watercolor Paper, Stencils, Canvases, Paint Brushes, Palettes, Multi-Colored Drawing Pencils Crayons, Sketching Pencils, Multi-Colored Markers, Straight Rulers, Circular Rulers, Watercolor Paint, Oil-Based Paint, Acrylic Paint

Your unused bicycles hold the key to freedom for a refugee, veteran or young person who needs a way to work or school.  Donate your unused bike to Freewheels and our volunteers will clean and repair it and provide a way for people to get to work or school.

Our greatest need is for adult mountain bikes and hybrids with 26-inch and 700c wheels. We also need youth bikes with 24-inch wheels.

Our refugee and veteran customers rarely ask for road bikes or beach cruisers. We do not accept used helmets, children’s bikes, scooters or tag-alongs. If it’s not economic for Freewheels to repair a donated used bike, we often reclaim parts and components that can be used on other bikes.

We have partnerships with people who will take bikes we don’t plan to repair and deliver them to organizations in Mexico. When we receive a road bike, we may try to sell it and and use the proceeds to pay for parts, supplies, safety equipment and rent. 

Freewheels accepts bike donations on Friday and Saturday mornings.

Hours: Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. – noon

Do you know how to repair a bike? Freewheels Houston volunteers repair bikes that will be given to refugees, veterans emerging from homelessness and young people from low-income families to enable them to get to work or school and explore the city.

Freewheels Houston's shop has the tools and parts you will need. Bike shop mechanics should be familiar with most bike systems.

We use a repair checklist developed with input from a master bike technician.

If you don’t know all the systems, our volunteers enjoy sharing their knowledge and can help get you up to speed. If you are already an expert, you will start getting questions from other volunteers looking to improve their skills.
