Volunteers are needed to spend time with our hospice patients.

We at Encompass are looking for compassionate, patience, loving volunteers to spend time with our patients. They need and want someone to share their final days with and we want people with a nurturing nature to give them that most basic of needs, human contact. You would spend time with the patients talking, listening, playing games or anything the patient would want or possibly need.

Our offices are in Clear Lake and the Woodlands area but we have patients all over the Greater Houston Area and Woodlands. The training would be done in our Houston office but the opportunity would be in the Alvin Area.

Due to the nature of the patients’ conditions each volunteer will be required to go through required training to volunteer with our patients. The process to become a volunteer takes a little bit but the rewards of giving your time to these patients is beyond measurable. You can give these people a final dignity in their darkest hour. Thank you.

We are looking for a videography or multimedia specialist to create a video or video that will show off our young adults and everything they do! All levels of experience are welcome, including students and recent graduates. 

S.T.E.P.S. is a nonprofit organization that empowers young adults with disabilities through vocational training and employment. We are one of the only programs for young adults with disabilities in our area. Our program allows them to gain essential vocational and independent living skills and a sense of purpose and community inclusion. Far too many young adults spend their days at home following high school due to limited opportunities, and we are working to change that. However, there’s still a lot of work to do. With your help, we can continue our mission and expand our impact. Would you be able to help us by donating your time?

We require in-person volunteers who would like to work hands-on with adults with disabilities.

Volunteer tasks include, but are not limited to: 

Our founder, Traci Johnston, spent nearly two decades working as a special education teacher in our community. She saw the lack of opportunities available to her students following high school and the anxiety it caused her and their families. With the help of one of her former students, she created an educational and exciting day program in Deer Park, Next Step Transition Center. As the day program grew, so did the feeling she could do more. She felt the calling to create a program where young adults could continue to grow in their independence and skills. S.T.E.P.S. provides vocational, independent living, and social skills through hands-on experience.

The continued increase of individuals with intellectual, physical, and emotional disabilities has created an even greater need for programs for these individuals following high school. Texas has one of the highest populations of individuals with disabilities at 12.9%, most of whom live in Houston and the surrounding gulf coast region. Our local community, Deer Park, comprises 7.9% of individuals with disabilities, while the surrounding communities of Pasadena and La Porte have 8.1% and 11.6%, respectively. With your support, our program can grow and provide additional opportunities to adults in our community.

We need your help to create designs and teach our young adults to create designs! Our young adults create items using a sublimation printer, white toner printer, Cricut, and Glowforge Laser Engraver.

Things to help ease their minds and feel comforted as they begin life after high school! 

HUG-A-HUT is a socially distanced way to share the love to a student needing some encouragement in life!

Senior Writer / storyteller for Harvey Nexus Inc. Stories

From the beginning, Harvey Nexus set out to be a different kind of organization. One that not only celebrates the best parts of life but also addresses the social determinants that prevent some of us, especially those in underrepresented communities from enjoying the richness and simplicity of life- we have set out to bring a feeling of community, connection, dignity  and  access to simply make a living. 

We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

Things happen quickly here and the role demands a team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
