The Greensheet and VOLUNTEER HOUSTON collaborate to bring you the following information on
volunteer opportunities for young people,
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, greater Houston will be better prepared thanks to a disaster drill being
held at the George R, Brown Convention Center on April 29 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This exercise
will help emergency management staff fine-tune their procedures should a hurricane threaten the
Houston area this year. Lots of volunteers will be needed to make this drill realistic, with the largest
i number playing the role of would-be evacuees. Individual volunteers should be at least age 15, but
, families with younger children are also invited to participate.
• HISTORY AND DESTINY will be intertwined themes at the annual San Jacinto Day Festival taking
9 place April 26 in LaPorte. This celebration of the legendary Battle of San Jacinto features a full day
of music, food, games, and fun. Volunteers will be needed to greet the public and assist at an
• information booth and water station. In return for their time, volunteers will be accorded parking
g passes and free lunch. The minimum age for individual volunteers is 17, but persons as young as 14

DOGS HAVE THEIR DAY - and cats do too - thanks to volunteers who staff a pet adoption station on
Saturdays at pet supply stores in west Houston (near I-10 and Gessner) and in Katy. Duties involve
assisting prospective pet owners with the adoption process and keeping the animals well-groomed so
that they look their adorable best. A commitment of one shift a month is all that's asked. Persons as
young as 16 (12 if accompanied by an adult volunteer) are invited to help out.

REALLY CLEAN UP as a volunteer at the Texas Adopt-a-Beaeh Spring Cleanup, sponsored by the
Texas General Land Office. This huge event will take place the morning of April 26 all along the
Texas coast. Working as part of a team of "beach buddies", you'll help remove debris that spoils the
appearance of our shoreline and poses severe hazards to marine wildlife. (Some of the debris can be
recycled to fund other environmental improvement projects.) Call now to reserve a place for yourself
on the beach of your choice. There is no minimum age if accompanied by an adult; otherwise the
0 minimum is 15.
CELEBRATE MOTHER'S DAY one day early by participating in a visit to local nursing homes on
Saturday, May 10. If you have some time available that morning, plan on coming to either of two
meeting places (near the Galleria or close to Willowbrook Mall) and teaming up with other
volunteers to visit one of several facilities. You'll be given handmade Mother's Day cards and other
goodies to share with the persons you visit. There's no minimum age requirement, as long as each
volunteer is able to provide for his or her transportation.
FOR SELF-STARTERS:: Sew simple stuffed animals for children in families that have lost their homes
through fire or natural disaster. You can do the work at home and at your own pace.
DID YOU KNOW that an organization in Washington, D.C., named Independent Sector, does a national
survey every two years to identify trends in volunteering and charitable donations? Key results of
their most recent study are always posted on their Web site: http://www.independentsector.org.
