TWST4GIRLS is interviewing event volunteers. You will be working TWST4Girls events, helping with set up, running of, and takedown of events. Events occur monthly, on the weekends, and last 4 to 6 hours. This is a great way to be involved in an awesome organization without committing to weekly hours.

ORGANIZATION:

We offer life skills development, skillfully matched female mentors, career exploration, as well as intellectual and cultural exposure at no cost to the youth that we serve!

Youth graduate TWST’s Core Program as well-rounded young women who are purposeful, self-sufficient, and equipped with the tools needed to excel in life.

WHO WE NEED:

We are looking for volunteers who possess all or most of these qualities:

This is an ongoing need as TWST4Girls is a growing organization and is always looking for dedicated volunteers who are willing to serve in different ways.

While clients are in meetings or at class they are allowed to leave their children in our child watch program. The child watch program is from 8:30AM-1pm Monday through Friday. The child watch volunteer supervises and plays with the children. We are looking for a child watch volunteer to fill the spot from December 26th to January 8th. 

As conditions are slowly improving we are excited to announce that the MS Society’s first in-person event will be a one-day version of our Bike MS: Texas MS 150 event which will be taking place on May 1st. If you are comfortable with it, we would love for your support as we start to transition back to in-person events.

Historically, thousands of riders and hundreds of volunteers come together to make our Bike MS: Texas MS 150 event a possibility. While things will look very different this year, we are dedicated towards having a great event that makes a tremendous impact in our fight against MS. The event previously featured a route that started in downtown Houston and finished in downtown Austin. However, this year we are riding on a brand new route! We will have joint starts in both La Grange and Houston which will lead all riders to finish on Kyle Field in College Station!

 With the event only a few months away, we would love for your help potentially volunteering and in engaging the community as a whole. We will have a variety of volunteer opportunities at our Houston-area start locations and in the weeks leading up to the event. Responsibilities can include anything from site set-up to serving food to organizing the groups of our riders and shifts can be as short as four hours. This event would be a great  opportunity to help us launch into our new normal of in-person events while helping those living with MS.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in serving with us, feel free to explore our volunteer registration home page. You can use the tabs and/or links found on this page to navigate through the volunteer opportunities and find shift times, role descriptions, the number of volunteers needed, and our COVID-19 protocols.

Out-of-this-world opportunities to make a real difference await you at Space Center Houston! Whether it’s on the museum floor or behind the scenes, we have a position to fit your interests.

As a volunteer, you’ll have a positive impact not only on Space Center Houston, but also on the local and global communities we serve. Volunteer in our education programs inspiring the astronauts and engineers of tomorrow, help our staff welcoming guests from around the globe, or play a vital role in both daytime and evening special events.

Learn about the space program and share your knowledge with our guests as they explore our attractions. Volunteer in amazing areas such as Starship Gallery and Astronaut Gallery where hundreds of unique space and science artifacts are housed and Independence Plaza where the high-fidelity space shuttle replica is mounted on top of the historic shuttle carrier aircraft NASA 905.

We wish to give you a voice and offer every student and expressive individual to participate in our Creative Activism Project. Through videos and images with #HTXCreativeActivism, share your thoughts, concerns, and wishes creatively about Social Justice. We invite everyone to contribute through Social Media and submit your pictures/videos/art to our museum. The created artifacts would then be exhibited at our museum. 

We, the CCMH, join other Museums in the District to say: We support "Black lives matter." so they can be part of "All lives matter."

As a society, we were witnesses of intolerance and are still witnessing injustice against different communities; this concerns religious, gender, class, or race-based groups.

We firmly believe that injustice should not be just recognized but be addressed and systematically stopped. But how can it be done constructively? If it concerns the rights of diverse religious, cultural, racial, or LGBTQ communities, it is essential to have a dialog and find ways to address such critical issues. We can't give just a statement because the time requires it but should be able to openly discuss difficult issues such as Social Justice and serve as a platform to provide healthy ways to address our community's and societies' issues. 

As part of a beautiful and diverse community, we wish to allow everyone to voice their feelings of structural injustice. Today's technological development and possibilities of communication should be used to build a healthy public. We wish to help our growing community with creative methods to process these difficult subjects that are finally openly addressed.

Join us in our mission to give others a voice, create, and address issues to improve our community!

Duties of TWST4Girls' Chief Operating Officer

Planning

Nonprofit COO is part of the executive management team and participates in long-term strategic planning meetings. While the Executive Director and board of directors develop broad mission-oriented goals and objectives, the executive management team helps develop the operating strategies to attain those goals. In these meetings, the COO will provide detailed information to team members regarding the performance capabilities of each department, which she has learned through regular meetings with department heads. 

Monitoring

A nonprofit COO works with individual department heads to monitor their work, not only ensuring each function stays on track to meet its goals, but also making sure each department understands its role in relation to the other departments and the nonprofit’s mission. For example, if the marketing, development and human resources all needed the IT department’s help on projects, the COO would make the call as to which department IT would help first. 

Financial Responsibilities 

The COO would work with each department head and the ED to understand needs and look for solutions during a budget crunch, but would make the final determination regarding issues such as which department gets a new computer and which gets an additional staff member. 

Human Resources 

Works with human resources or ED to ensure the organization meets it staffing needs, including developing plans to maximize volunteer help. Knowing the organization’s personnel capabilities, the COO can determine which projects the organization can pursue, making more effective decisions regarding the operations of different departments. The COO, rather than the ED, might make the final call on hiring, disciplining or terminating certain Directors.

The shelter in place mandate has had a significant impact on the residents of Goldberg Towers. The activities with which they have become accustomed have been discontinued due to the social distancing requirements. Please assist me in my efforts to ensure their socialization needs are satisfied virtually or by supplying activities that will occupy their time.

In additional to the social activities, I have enclosed a few essentials that will also be beneficial for this vulnerable population.

Desired Activities:

A 74 year old veteran with diabetes and only one leg uses a wheelchair. He needs someone who lives in the Gulfgate area to help him by pushing the cart in the grocery store while he selects what he wants to buy. Then the helper is needed to get the bags into the vehicle and then into the vet's home. This is a recurring need with frequency TBD.

Anyone interested in helping this vet should contact Bob Stevenson at Robert.Stevenson@teamrubiconusa.org for the vet's contact information.

If you would like to be a Mercer Ambassador or hear more about the program, please contact Mercer's volunteer coordinator at 713-274-4160 or jhartwell@hcp4.net  Thank you!
