Volunteer: Monthly Bird Survey

Healthy bird populations are an indicator of a healthy Bay.

Join the Galveston Bay Foundation for a monthly bird survey led by Texas Master Naturalist and Lead GBF Volunteer, Lisa Hardcastle, at Sweetwater Preserve, a 140-acre GBF property that is not open to the public. This restored site includes coastal prairie, estuarine marsh, salt flats, freshwater wetlands, brackish wetlands, and coastal woodlots, which support a wide variety of resident and migratory birds.

All levels of birders are welcome! Bring your own binoculars and field gear.

Surveys take place on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 a.m. at the end of 103rd Street in Galveston. From there, participants will drive short distances to three survey areas. The survey typically lasts three to four hours, but volunteers may leave early if needed.

No restrooms on site. Conditions can vary, so wear closed-toe shoes (boots recommended) and bring a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water.

DATA COLLECTION
Survey results will be submitted to GBF staff and eBird, and the eBird list will be shared with all registered participants. These data help document species use of restored coastal habitat in the Galveston Bay watershed.

Join the Galveston Bay Foundation for a monthly bird survey led by Texas Master Naturalist and Lead GBF Volunteer, Lisa Hardcastle, at Sweetwater Preserve, a 140-acre GBF property that is not open to the public. This restored site includes coastal prairie, estuarine marsh, salt flats, freshwater wetlands, brackish wetlands, and coastal woodlots, which support a wide variety of resident and migratory birds.

All levels of birders are welcome! Bring your own binoculars and field gear.

Surveys take place on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 a.m. at the end of 103rd Street in Galveston. From there, participants will drive short distances to three survey areas. The survey typically lasts three to four hours, but volunteers may leave early if needed.

No restrooms on site. Conditions can vary, so wear closed-toe shoes (boots recommended) and bring a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water.

DATA COLLECTION
Survey results will be submitted to GBF staff and eBird, and the eBird list will be shared with all registered participants. These data help document species use of restored coastal habitat in the Galveston Bay watershed.

Volunteer: Amazing Opportunity to Mentor High School Students with Minds Matter Houston!


Title:Volunteer Mentor

Reports to: Saturday Programs Director

Time Commitment: ~2.5 hours per week on select Saturdays

Schedule:September - May

Long-term Commitment:3-year cycle (Sophomore through Senior year)


Our Mission

Minds Matter Houston transforms the lives of highly motivated high school students from low-income communities. We bridge the opportunity gap by providing the resources, mentorship, and support necessary for students to thrive in college and beyond. Our students have the ambition; we provide the roadmap.


The Role: Your Journey as a Mentor

As a Mentor, you are more than a tutor; you are a champion for a student’s potential. You will be paired with a bright, motivated student starting in their sophomore year, walking alongside them until they walk across the stage at high school graduation.


Key Responsibilities:


Relational Mentorship: Build a consistent, trusting 1-on-1 relationship. You will be a stable presence, helping your mentee navigate the social and academic pressures of high school.

College Access Coaching: Guide your mentee through the complexities of college research, fly-in programs, and the application process.

Skill Advocacy: Facilitate growth in "power skills"—time management, professional communication, and goal-setting—using the Minds Matter curriculum.

Summer Program Support: Assist your mentee in applying for competitive summer academic programs at top-tier universities.

Academic Accountability: Provide a supportive "nudge" to ensure program assignments and schoolwork remain a priority.


What We’re Looking For

We seek professionals and community leaders who are as committed to our students' success as they are to their own.

The "Long View": The ability to commit to a three-year cycle is essential. Your consistency is the bedrock of your mentee's success.

Educational Advocates: A firm belief that a student's zip code should not determine their destination.

Empathetic Leadership: A balance of high expectations and deep compassion for the barriers our students face.

Reliability: Our sessions happen on Saturdays; showing up is the first and most important part of the job.

Clearance: Ability to pass a comprehensive background check.


The Mentor Experience

A Structured Community: You aren't on an island. You will work within the Programming Team, supported by staff and a cohort of fellow mentors.

Professional Networking: Connect with a diverse, high-achieving network of volunteers across Houston’s corporate, medical, and civic sectors.

Skill Development: Hone your coaching, active listening, and leadership skills through our comprehensive training and ongoing workshops.

Tangible Legacy: Experience the profound satisfaction of seeing "your" student receive their college acceptance letters and realize their dreams.


How to Apply

Volunteer: 2026 Spring Bi-Annual Plant Sale: Event Support

Help Native Plants Find New Homes

Every spring, Galveston Bay Foundation hosts a community native plant sale to help residents bring more habitat into their own backyards and neighborhoods. This year we will be concurrently hosting a Rain Barrel Workshop for those interested in learning about water conservation for the Bay.

As an Event Support Volunteer, you’ll help maintain plant organization, restock inventory as needed, and provide support to staff and customers throughout the event.

By helping us prepare plants for sale, you make it easier for residents to choose native species that benefit pollinators, birds, and the greater Galveston Bay watershed.

This is a physically active volunteer role involving light lifting and organizing. Restrooms are available onsite. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Please check in with GBF staff inside the BBQ shed upon arrival. You will receive a quick orientation and task overview before setup begins.

Parking & Where to Meet
We will meet at Walter Hall Park at the BBQ Shed adjacent to the Community Center. When entering the park, continue to go straight and park in the first parking lot. You will see a GBF truck and trailer in the next lot over. Give yourself enough time to park and use the restroom so you are ready to help at the start of your shift.

Company Description
Young Homeowners League is a 501c3 nonprofit to empower high schoolers and other youths to work, save, buy land, build starter homes, and become young homeowners.
Revolving fund will be used to acquire lower priced land to develop into lots, with target cost $30k each.
Our first focus area is within the City of Houston with sewer line, and our second is communities within a one-hour commute of Houston.
We organize youths into project teams with experienced members to build starter homes, 1000 to 1400 sqft size, starting $120/sqft.
Young team members earn the majority share (80%) of project labor costs, with experienced members receiving 20%.
Team members have priority to purchase the homes they help build, at cost.

Role Description
An Affordable Homeownership Champion is an unpaid volunteer role, unless actively participating in construction work, in which case compensation comes from the experienced members portion (20%) of labor costs.
Champions can contribute in one or more of the following ways:
1. Help future homeowners, including yourself, plan to work, save, build credit, invest in land, support the construction of starter homes, and prepare for homeowner.
2. Support or supervise construction teams (ideal for teachers, retirees, tradespeople, or business professionals) building starter homes, especially part-time or during summer.
3. If you own land or a home and need a shed or smaller home built, consider placing an order through our project teams. Shed reference $35/sqft. Home within 1400 sqft reference $120/sqft
4. Help connect us with organizations offering grants or low-interest loans for our land revolving fund.
5. If you can put money into our revolving fund as a loan, let’s talk.
6. Help design starter homes that are attractive, efficient, using lower cost materials, and easier to build especially for less experienced youths.
