Needs From: Volunteer Houston

Volunteer: HUG-A-HUT

After our students finish the high school program of Higher Up Texas, they move into HUT Phase 2. Here, we provide support via group virtual meetings, one on one check ins, mailed care packages, letters of encouragement, and any resources needed to help answer questions and find solutions towards reaching career goals. 

 

Our HUG-A-HUT is a box of care items that you can send in the mail and the student will receive it. Items can include candy, tea, candle, journal, motivational book, crossword books, coloring books, fast food gift card, and most importantly- a note of encouragement. 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!

Volunteer: Mentoring Monitor

The Mentoring Monitor will work with our 20 mentor pairs by checking in once a month via phone/text/email to ensure that all parties are satisfied or if there are any challenges. The position also includes sending a monthly newsletter and setting up a service project activity each semester. When a new volunteer signs up to mentor, we have an orientation that is virtually led by the Mentoring Monitor. We provide a cell phone for this role.

 

The skills required are the ability to communicate professionally, have consistency in their work, and be comfortable using google docs as this is how we store our information for this role. A person who has a background in working with teens is a plus but is not required.

 

The position is 75% virtual. We are located in Dickinson off of 517 as well as in Dickinson HS. It is extremely flexible and can offer much in how a non-profit functions as well as working with better understanding how mentorship is powerful! 5 hours per week is what we need but if the potential intern would like other areas to develop, I am open to offering more hours.
