Volunteer: Social Media Representative

Help us get noticed! We're a brand new nonprofit organization being formed to be the answer for homeless families! Did you know that in Houston, a couple with children have nowhere to go if they end up homeless? That's right, thankfully there are plenty of programs for women with children, but unfortunately, there are basically none that will take the man, he is given the option of a men's shelter or the streets.

At Restoration House of Houston, we're going to take the entire family into our two-year Transitional Housing program. But not many know about us. That's where you come in!

We need someone with Social Media expertise, who will help introduce us to Houston. In turn we believe it will help us gain the support we need to finally open our doors.

Are you up for the task? We hope so! Please respond to this ad so that we can talk details. Thanks!

Agency: Alzheimer's Association Houston and Southeast Texas Chapter

Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women. Older Black Americans are about twice as likely to have Alzheimer's or other dementias as older Whites. Older Hispanics are about one and one-half times as likely to have Alzheimer's or other dementias as older Whites.

Make a difference! We provide all the materials for those interested in educating in the community. In addition, we're seeking people to pair with  experienced facilitators overseeing caregiver support groups.

Interested? Complete the Alzheimer's Association Volunteer Interest Survey at bit.ly/alz-vol-interest today!

Our volunteers deliver support and education, raise funds, advocate for Alzheimer’s and more to help achieve our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia(r). Whatever your skills, whatever time you have, we have in-person and virtual opportunities to provide vital support for people living with Alzheimer's and their families.

Volunteer: Upload videos to USB Drives

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.

Volunteer: Global Cultural Networker

Help build peace and overcome global divisions while honing your intercultural communication skills. At Acquaint, you can build your relationship with the world through 1-on-1 conversations with other volunteers from over 35 countries.

Cultural networking isn't easy. It requires curiosity and appreciation for others while being tolerant of conflicting viewpoints. By practicing finding common ground and connecting with diverse people, we empower the world to work together.

Acquaint is one of the most convenient and rewarding ways to volunteer. The process is simple. First: enter times that you are available in Acquaint's web app. Next, Acquaint pairs you with someone else from around the world during your available time. Finally, at the time of your session, connect for an approximately one-hour conversation and virtual icebreaker. Your session partner could be down the street, or on the other side of the globe.

This role is open to anyone over the age of 14 who has internet access a device that connects to the internet (for example, a smartphone, tablet, or laptop). The device must have a microphone. Generally, if it will work with Zoom, Facetime, etc. it will work with Acquaint. Volunteers under 18 must receive permission from a parent or guardian.  

Onboarding and training for this role takes about 4-6 hours total and involves getting to know an Acquaint mentor, who will guide you through how to use the platform. 

Join Acquaint today to help turn cultural networking into a movement. Together we can empower people worldwide to understand each other and prevent conflict!
