Volunteer: Refugee Youth Translator

Each year, new groups of refugees arrive in Houston from all over the world, and many of those we serve have only been in the United States a few months. One of our biggest challenges in recruiting youth to commit to our programs is the language barrier and lack of English comprehension of both students and parents. PAIR is looking for bilingual volunteers who may assist staff in translating while trying to recruit refugees to participate in program, speak with parents, and complete paperwork throughout the year. Translator services would not be required daily but may be needed while recruiting participants. This is usually done weekday evenings or weekend mornings. Occasionally, services would also be needed while presenting program to refugee communities, filling out surveys and paperwork, and other instances throughout the year. This opportunity would allow the volunteer to engage with Houston's refugee community, improve translation abilities, strengthen a parent's involvement in their child's education, and open possibilities of mentoring a student.

Please apply through our website (http://www.pairhouston.org/vol-app/) ASAP as spots run out quickly!

Volunteer: Notes of Encouragement

Make it a special day with Notes of Encouragement! We all love cards and special greetings! But our clients don't usually receive mail that is positive and uplifting. Your notes will be placed in client mailboxes or on bunk beds to bless, uplift and raise the self-esteem of who are homeless. You can use any type of card you prefer. Plain cardstock cut into fourths works great. You can simply pen a note or decorate the cards with markers, colored pencils and/or stickers. In other words, volunteers can unleash their compassion and creativity. Notes can be all occasion or seasonal. Notes do not need to be signed. Volunteers can use a group name or phrase like "Your Friend", but notes should not include a name or any personal information. Not sure what to write, here a few suggestions: 

Just want you to know that someone is praying for you today. Hang in there! Tomorrow will be a better day!  "Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can." All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. - Walt Disney For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ? Jeremiah 29:11

Notes of Encouragement can be created at your location, at your convenience. When the notes are ready for delivery, we can often arrange a tour.

Volunteer: Weekend Trip Volunteers-Help underprivileged youth discover nature and the great outdoors

The Woods Project runs weekend trips at different sites near Houston. Our trips include everything from backpacking to canoeing and kayaking to pulling invasive species or planting trees for service projects. We combine students from different high schools who come out with their teachers to enjoy the woods, meet new people and develop strong leadership skills and confidence.

Spring 2017 Weekend Trip Dates:

Trip #1 Feb 24-26th Backpacking in Sam Houston National Forest

Trip #2 Feb 24-26th Camping at Brazos Bend State Park

Trip #3 March 3-5 Backpacking in Sam Houston National Forest

Trip #4 March 3-5 Kayaking/ Fishing at Galveston State Park

Trip #5 March 24-26th Backpacking in Sam Houston National Forest

Trip #6 March 24-26th Kayaking/ Fishing at Galveston State Park with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department

Trip #7 April 7-9th Backpacking in Sam Houston National Forest

Trip #8 April 7-9th Canoe/Kayak in Huntsville State Park with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department

Please sign up for a trip that works for you.

We depend 100% on our volunteers to come out with us and have a great time along with the students. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and range in age from 22 to 78 years old. All that we ask of volunteers is that they are willing to come out, enjoy the outdoors and share their stories with our students.

The students do most of the tasks such as cooking and cleaning so volunteers are really there to supervise and be mentors. We provide all of the gear and food for the weekend so all you have to bring are your personal clothes and an open mind. Some of our volunteers have years of experience in the outdoors and some have never slept in a tent. We are flexible and want to work with you to make sure you have a great time giving back to the community. Our volunteers often tell us that they grow just as much as the students while on our trips.

Please fill out an online volunteer application and we'll get in touch with you.
