Dear Future Trusted Health Ambassador,

As we continue fighting COVID-19, getting vaccinated is our best shot at ending the pandemic and getting back to normal. We need your help to educate our communities about COVID-19 and the importance of getting vaccinated through our Trusted Health Ambassador Program.

The Trusted Health Ambassador program will equip you, as a trusted member and influencer of your community, with the facts about the disease so you can educate, empower and encourage others in your community to get vaccinated and stay healthy.  The program prepares you to have meaningful conversations with others so you can share important fact-based information about the disease.

It’s people in our communities like you who can drive passion and action and be the defining voice in the fight against this pandemic. The Houston Health Department is looking for trusted individuals to share the latest, accurate information with their communities and networks so we can finally get back to normal.

Join the Trusted Health Ambassador Program to help us get all communities vaccinated.

Fill out our interest form online or call our Trusted Health Ambassador Help Line at 832-395-8953 to be considered for the program. A representative from the team will respond with more details.

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!

FotoFest International is a non-profit photographic arts and education organization based in Houston, Texas. Co-founded in 1983 by Frederick Baldwin and Wendy Watriss, FotoFest promotes U.S. and international engagement with artists and ideas through museum-quality photo-based art from around the world. The first FotoFest Biennial was held in 1986. It is the first and longest running photographic arts festival in the United States, and it is considered as one of the leading international photography Biennials in the world.

FotoFest is seeking volunteers, 18 or older, to gallery hosts for REFUGEE, an important exhibition addressing the global refugee crisis. REFUGEE originated at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles California. A timely exhibition, REFUGEE allows audiences to engage with the plight of refugees and reflect on their condition. A core principle of REFUGEE is to present these diverse populations with both dignity and respect, even as they have endured often unwelcoming conditions and hostile environments in order to find their new beginnings. The exhibition includes work by photographers Lynsey Addario, Omar Victor Diop, Graciela Iturbide, Martin Schoeller, and Tom Stoddart.

Gallery hosts greet guests and assist with Virtual Reality headsets. Gallery Hosts allow us to keep exhibitions open to the public. REFUGEE is open May 12 to July 15, 2017. Gallery Hours are Wednesday–Saturday, 11am to 5pm. FotoFest is located in Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, Houston 77007. Please contact Marianne if you are interested in volunteering 713 223 5522 x19 or info@fotofest.org.

Want to have a serene yet fulfilling volunteer opportunity? Then come to the newly renovated Japanese Garden in Hermann Park to volunteer your time to maintain this jewel in the middle of Houston’s premier regional Park.

The Japanese Garden was built in 1992, designed by Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajima. Over the years the Garden slid into a Texas style garden, prompting the Hermann Park Conservancy to engage another renowned landscape architect from Japan, Terunobu Nakai, to advise the gardening team as to the finer details of Japanese style gardens. Utilizing plants appropriate to the Garden as well as to the Houston climate, Mr. Nakai and celebrated landscape gardener Hiroshi Iwasaki in 2007 began their annual visitations to the Garden to assist the park gardeners with the return of the Garden to its Japanese roots. 2016 saw the completion of their 10 th visit to the Garden with the development of the new dry stream garden, mimicking features of a stream, a beach and waterfalls to be accessed via a new entry gate on the Fannin side of the Garden.

The Japanese Garden gardeners would appreciate your assistance with the garden's upkeep: maintaining the paths and entries, keeping the weeds at bay, trimming shrubs and trees in the Japanese style, raking pine needles and mulching shrub beds, deadheading spent blooms, and planting shrubs, plants, and ground cover. Volunteers will be working alongside and under the direction of the garden staff. Instructions will be given on site by staff. 

Workdays are each Thursday or 3rd Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Group volunteers (groups with less than 50 people, from churches, organizations, businesses, etc.) are welcome and should schedule a workday ahead of time by contacting Hermann Park Conservancy's volunteer department.    For more information contact volunteer@hermannpark.org

Bloom is leading adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to a lifetime of community-driven health and wellness. One way we do this is through on-demand videos accessible to adults with IDD at their day habilitation center. Bloom recently filmed a new batch of highly-engaging fitness videos, and we need to get these loaded onto USB drives for dispersal. 

The volunteer that selects this position will meet with a Bloom staff member to pick up USB drives. Then, with access to our videos (stored on Vimeo), you will upload them to the correct USB drives. There are approximately 60 USB drives. 

While the work sounds inconsequential, it is of utmost importance to approximately 500 athletes across Greater Houston who are looking forward to using their new Bloom Box drives.
