The Information Desks may well be the first contact a patient, his family or visitor have with Baylor St. Luke's  Medical Center Hospital, the Texas Heart Institute.  As such, the role of the volunteer is very vital in representing these institutions.  Please, above all, be patient and kind while serving at one of these desks. Remember it is possible that the person you are dealing with may never have been in a hospital before.  Keep in mind also that many people coming to the Information Desk could be very worried about themselves or a member of their family so you must be very polite, understanding and helpful. 

 To be able to escort or direct a patient or visitor to a certain area one has to know where it is.  For this reason all information volunteers must receive orientation and take a tour of the hospitals to become familiar with the many different areas.  You will be informed of any changes made in an area location as soon as possible.

Tour Guide training prepares you to discuss Houston and Texas history as well as the decorative arts and lifestyles represented in the structures.

Background check required.

This position is similar to the tour guide position, except that your main focus will be on giving tours to school groups. This position is perfect for people who work with children often, especially in an educational setting.

Children’s educators are also asked to help with girl and boy scout badge workshops, which allow for more one on one time with children and more activity oriented learning.  Background check required.

If you are a pro at optimizing the use of your cell phone apps, have social media experience, and know traditional media, then we could use your talents here!

All our events are in Downtown Houston, and our museum has free parking.

These volunteers get to work hands-on with real historic artifacts. Their duties include organizing the archives, cataloguing artifacts that are not accessioned, and checking that previous artifact records are correct. This may also entail conducting your own research on specific items if information is missing. Background check required.

Bring Houston’s history alive for people who cannot personally visit the park. Outreach programs include children’s trunk shows and presentations about local history, architecture, customs, and people. We also have an educational booth program that brings booths on different aspects of Houston history to events at other organizations.

Volunteers are needed for a variety of special events, programs, and activities. This includes Scout Badge Workshops, culture and art festivals in Sam Houston Park and on Bagby Street, Juneteenth celebration, and Annual Candlelight Tours. Volunteer calls for special events happen over email about a month prior to the event. Because these opportunities happen less often, special event volunteers are only required to volunteer at four events a year to stay on the active roster.
