Volunteer: Japanese Garden VolunteersWant to have a serene yet fulfilling volunteer opportunity? Then come to the newly renovated Japanese Garden in Hermann Park to volunteer your time to maintain this jewel in the middle of Houston’s premier regional Park. The Japanese Garden was built in 1992, designed by Japanese landscape architect Ken Nakajima. Over the years the Garden slid into a Texas style garden, prompting the Hermann Park Conservancy to engage another renowned landscape architect from Japan, Terunobu Nakai, to advise the gardening team as to the finer details of Japanese style gardens. Utilizing plants appropriate to the Garden as well as to the Houston climate, Mr. Nakai and celebrated landscape gardener Hiroshi Iwasaki in 2007 began their annual visitations to the Garden to assist the park gardeners with the return of the Garden to its Japanese roots. 2016 saw the completion of their 10 th visit to the Garden with the development of the new dry stream garden, mimicking features of a stream, a beach and waterfalls to be accessed via a new entry gate on the Fannin side of the Garden. The Japanese Garden gardeners would appreciate your assistance with the garden's upkeep: maintaining the paths and entries, keeping the weeds at bay, trimming shrubs and trees in the Japanese style, raking pine needles and mulching shrub beds, deadheading spent blooms, and planting shrubs, plants, and ground cover. Volunteers will be working alongside and under the direction of the garden staff. Instructions will be given on site by staff. Workdays are each Thursday or 3rd Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Group volunteers (groups with less than 50 people, from churches, organizations, businesses, etc.) are welcome and should schedule a workday ahead of time by contacting Hermann Park Conservancy's volunteer department.

Volunteer: Next Step of Hope MentorA major component of our ministry is the Next Step of Hope mentoring program. The purpose of the program is to provide formerly homeless individuals who have made steps towards recovery with a team of mentors who can encourage and teach them to live successful lives. We are currently seeking to recruit individuals who may desire to serve as mentors.
There are just a few quick things I want to point out about the mentorship program:
1. It is flexible to your schedule: As a mentor you would coordinate your meeting times with your client according to your own personal schedule. If you can’t always meet in person, it is fine to also meet over the phone. 2. You will be part of a team: We want each client to have a team of three mentors. This lightens the weight of responsibility on each mentor and leaves a support system in place for the client when you are unavailable (When you out of town for instance). 3. You don’t have to be a professional: We’re not looking for professional counselors, just people who are willing to be a friend and share what they know. Agency: H.O.P.E.
