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.

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.

In observance of the Great American Clean-up, one of the activities will be a trash bash.  Meet at 11350 Ricecrest by the Oak tree in the park to sign in. Metro bus line 7 stops right nearby.  Tools/supplies will be provided. This event is organized by Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, in partnership with the Willow Waterhole Greenspace Conservancy.  The conservancy requires signing of a waiver to participate.

We are looking for people to come out and hide for search dogs while they are training. These people need to be willing to come out for at least a few hours and be willing to run, walk, and hide from the dogs in all different types of scenarios. When found by the dog, they should also be willing to play with the dog per the handler's instructions or offer the dog it's treat reward. It is a lot of fun and a unique experience to help these dogs out!

You'll be provided with a location to walk to in order to "hide" from the canines. The canines will then come find the missing person. Of course, you will never actually be missing, but we always need new people to pretend to be missing. We will be enjoying the outdoors, so dress appropriately with closed-toed shoes and comfortable pants. Be sure to bring water, sunscreen, bug spray and maybe a good book or electronic device to keep you busy during the down time. All high school students or older are welcome to participate. Feel free to view our website to see what we are about: www.AlphaSar.org.

A confirmation email will be sent after sign-up to confirm your volunteer slot. A waiver will be attached. Any participants under 16 years old will need to be accompanied by an adult during their volunteer time.

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.

 - We provide a ready-to-use flyer
 - We pick up all donations at the end of the drive

Suggested donation items include:

Access to basic hygiene and cleaning supplies helps families maintain healthy living environments, reduces stress, supports children’s well-being, and promotes stability for households working hard to make ends meet.
Whether you host a one-week or month-long drive, your effort will have an immediate and meaningful impact on families in your community.
