Each week , the mentor will offer one-to-one support and encouragement by participating in activities such as: talking at the park, playing sports, going to the movies, having dinner, going to the library, etc. This program provides the juvenile an opportunity to spend quality time with a positive adult role model.

Adult volunteer mentors from the community are recruited, screened and trained to provide visitation to juveniles in the Fort Bend County Juvenile Probation Detention Center. The juveniles chosen to receive a mentor are usually those that do not have anyone coming to visit them, are going to be there longer than average, and just need one-to-one visits. This program is designed for mentors to provide support, listen and encourage the juvenile while they are being detained in the detention center.

For more information, go to www.LeagueCityPetsAlive.org/Volunteer.  Please note that if you live more than 10 miles from the closest store in League City, Clear Lake or Kemah, consider volunteering for a rescue closer to you. Stop by the kitty condos at your nearest pet supply store, and they will likely have an ad posted for volunteers. Together, we all can help homeless cats and kittens find their purrfect adopters!

CLICK TO ACCESS OUR VOLUNTEER TRAINING:

https://actionforhappiness.org/volunteer-training?utm=AD-VH

About the Role:

Our volunteers bring people together for shared learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the wellbeing of everyone involved.

- The amazing 6-week Happiness Habits course is designed to be run by pairs of volunteers like you. It features expert videos, science-backed exercises and the chance to form meaningful connections. It is a very impactful (many say life-changing) experience.

- If running a 6-week course feels like too big of a first step, don't worry, you can also get involved by supporting a monthly group (they are a little bit less formal, while still having a huge positive impact!).

Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world. You don’t have to be an expert - or be happy all the time. If you are a warm and enthusiastic person that is more than enough to get started.

Why Volunteer with Us?

How do I know it’s right for me?

We've designed it especially to help you answer questions like this as it explains thoroughly what being a volunteer involves and helps you reflect on your readiness.

The 4th Annual Homeless Festival, in partnership with Officer Sheldon Theragood and his foundation, is coming up on Saturday, May 30, 2026, and we’re looking for volunteers with big hearts and willing hands.

This event is more than a photo opportunity. It’s a day of service, dignity, connection, and compassion for our unhoused neighbors.  We believe strongly in giving back, and we’re building a team of volunteers who share that passion.

What We’re Looking For:
• Volunteers who want to serve with purpose
• People who believe in community, respect, and humanity
• Individuals who can help with setup, distribution, guest support, and cleanup
• A positive spirit and a willingness to put others first

What You’ll Experience:
• A meaningful, hands-on opportunity to uplift the homeless community
• Working alongside dedicated partners and caring team members
• The joy of knowing your contribution makes a direct impact
• A day filled with service, gratitude, and community unity

If you’re ready to give back in a real and meaningful way, we’d love to have you.

To take the next step, please respond to this need and we will send you the HHD Volunteer Packet.

This packet includes:

•          The official application form.

•          Detailed information about the requirements for service, including commitment expectations and a very basic, non-intrusive background check. This check is simply part of our standard process to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

Please complete all the forms in the packet and return them to: HHD-Volunteers@houstontx.gov. Once we receive your completed paperwork, the HHD Volunteer Coordinator, Kesha McNeil, will review it and contact you to schedule an interview and find the best fit for your skills.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

If you know how to fix a bike, Freewheels Houston needs you.

Our volunteers repair donated bikes that go to refugees, veterans and young people from low-income families in Houston — people who depend on these bikes to get to work and school. Last year our mechanics repaired and distributed more than 640 bikes. The bottleneck is always skilled hands.

Our shop is well equipped with tools, parts and a repair checklist developed with input from a master bike technician. If you know most bike systems — drivetrain, shifting, brakes, wheels and tires, handlebars and steering — you will be repairing bikes on your first visit. If you're still building your skills, our experienced volunteers are generous with what they know.

Before your first shift, please complete our waiver: https://freewheelshouston.org/volunteer-consent/.

You don't need to know anything about bikes to volunteer at Freewheels Houston.

We will put you to work cleaning bikes, fixing flats and helping around the shop. Each time you come back, you will learn something new. A lot of our most experienced mechanics started exactly where you're starting — with no idea how much they'd love this.

The work has an immediate payoff. People come to the shop every weekend to pick up a bike that will get them to work, to school, to the grocery store. You will see that happen.

Registering in advance helps us prepare for your visit and makes sure we have your contact information for updates and communications.

Before your first shift, please complete our waiver: https://freewheelshouston.org/volunteer-consent/.
