Adult volunteer mentors from the community are recruited, screened and trained. After clearance, the mentor is carefully matched by gender and geographical proximity with a youth that is currently involved with the Fort Bend County Juvenile Probation Department. These juveniles are between the ages of 10 and 17 and are living in their home. 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.

If you are a cat lover, volunteer to help our beloved furry friends.  In LCPA's Kitty Condo Krewe program, cats and kittens ready for adoption are shown and adopted seven days a week in “condos” at 6 area pet supply stores in League City, Clear Lake and Kemah.  As a volunteer of the Kitty Condo Krewe, you sign up to love and play with the kitties, feed them, and clean the condo units.  It only takes about an hour, and it means the world to the cats and kittens who are waiting to be adopted into wonderful homes.

All that’s required is a one-hour hands-on training, after which you can sign up when you have a bit of time.  You can sign up for a morning shift or a late afternoon/evening shift (arrival times are flexible).  Volunteer qualifications:  Must love cats and kittens, be at least 16, dependable, have reliable transportation, and want to help cats and kittens stay healthy and get adopted into loving, forever homes.  Men, women, couples, retired seniors, teenagers, child (age 9+)/parent teams are all welcome to volunteer. 

We ask that you volunteer a minimum of two times a month. That’s just 2 hours (2 shifts) a month! And commit to volunteering for at least 3 months.

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!

When you volunteer for the KCK: You get to love on cats, give back, and SAVE LIVES!

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.

Join Us in Making a Real Difference

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/.

As a part of our mission to build community and increase book access, we’ve begun connecting stewards with their local booksellers through the LFL-Friendly Bookseller’s Directory. A crucial piece of this project is to reach out and ask booksellers to offer benefits to stewards, such as discounts, book donations, or event space discounts for meetups. We need your help to share information with booksellers about how they can support their local LFL stewards!

How to get started: Sign up on our volunteer website. If it's your first time volunteering with Team LFL, you will be asked to create an account in our volunteer hub. After you register, you will be instructed to compile a list of local booksellers you’d like to visit and submit it to us. After we receive your list, we will send you a packet of materials to distribute while you’re visiting the booksellers . 

Purpose: By helping connect Little Free Library stewards to local booksellers, you are helping to build community, inspire readers, and expand book access. 

Responsibilities:

Visit local booksellers (5 minimum, but can visit as many as you'd like) to drop off information packet on the bookseller’s directory

Be polite and courteous when visiting the bookseller - wait in line to speak to a staff member, don’t be pushy, encourage them to review the information and contact LFL with any questions.

Create a list of local booksellers that you plan to visit. 

Check the existing map to see which booksellers are already listed - you don’t need to go to any that are already listed!

Use booksellers’ associations (MIBA, CALIBA, etc.) to find booksellers near you (if you don’t already know them!)

Visit bookstores, use the provided Excel template to record who you’ve visited, and submit sheet to us via Givepulse.

As an incentive for completing this volunteer opportunity, you will be entered in a giveaway to receive a $50 gift card to the local bookseller of your choice.

Record your impact using Givepulse.

Time Required: A typical visit to a bookseller lasts about five to ten minutes, plus travel to and from, as well as time spent beforehand to research local booksellers.

Get dirty helping grow the Bay!

The Gessner Center is Galveston Bay Foundation’s new visitor hub in Kemah, TX. It will be home to our aquatic nursery program—where we grow and prepare wetland plants that are critical to restoring habitat, improving water quality, and supporting the long-term health of Galveston Bay.

As an Aquatic Nursery Volunteer, you will assist GBF staff with hands-on plant care.

Depending on the needs of the nursery, may help with watering, weeding, trimming, shifting plants, repotting wetland plants, and removing algae buildup from nursery ponds.

Some workdays may also include planting in our wetland pools and will be communicated in advance.

If you would like to help rotate or retrieve plants from the aquatic pools, you are encouraged to bring tall rubber boots.

Expect to get dirty and muddy!

By caring for nursery plants that will be used in restoration, you directly support healthier wetlands and a healthier Galveston Bay.

No experience is necessary. Staff will show you everythingyou need to know. Be prepared to walk across uneven terrain. Restrooms will be available onsite.

This is a hands-on opportunity to be part of the engine behind our community impact. Activities include sorting inventory, organizing shelves, staging items for distribution, and helping maintain an efficient warehouse environment.

Our work supports thousands of families each month by ensuring essential goods—food, household items, and supplies—are properly prepared and distributed with dignity and care.

The Mission Success Mentorship Program is designed to connect students with mentors who provide guidance, career exposure, and life skills development. The program emphasizes strong, authentic relationships by incorporating structured mentorship meetings and low-stakes activities for engagement.

Key Goals:

Mentor Expectations

Commitment

Meet with your mentee (in-person) approximately 10 times per year. Meetings will occur sometimes through team-wide Mission Success events (mentor events, practices, tournaments, etc.) and other times independently. We do ask that you try to attend Mission Success organized events whenever possible. Most importantly, we hope that you actively take a supportive role in your mentee’s life through regular communication. If you are ever having trouble getting in touch with your mentee, please let a Mission Success staff member know.

Parent Communication

Check in periodically with your mentee's parent(s) about how your mentee is doing. This will prove valuable to your relationship with your mentee and help to build a strong relationship with their parents as well. Staff Communication Mentors shall complete this brief check-in form every 2 months to report on their mentoring relationship. Mentors are welcome and encouraged to communicate regularly with Program Staff aside from the formal check-in form.

Regular Check-Ins

Mentors shall actively take a supportive role in their mentee’s life by asking about school performance and grades, wishing luck before tournaments, sending birthday cards, etc. This can be in the form of texts, phone calls, emails, mail, and meet ups during program or at a local coffee shop. Mentors should ideally call or email their mentees twice per month.

A Long-Term Relationship

Being a mentor is a long-term commitment (one-year minimum) and bears significant responsibility. Plan to mentor your mentee through their middle, high school, and even college years. The mentoring program lasts as long as a child is in Mission Success or as long as the mentor lives in the Houston area. Previous mentor relationships have lasted through the middle, high school and even college years of our student-athletes!

Safety

All mentors must complete a background check through Sterling and VIPS after signing the mentorship agreement. Mission Success staff are mandatory reporters in the state of Texas. If you have any reason to believe your mentee is in danger, notify a staff member immediately.

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.
