Volunteer at IM Houston
For the volunteer looking to use their skills to help behind the scenes look no further:
Special Events Volunteer: IM holds large and small events throughout the year to help raise funds to support our programs, spread awareness or recruit new volunteers. Special event volunteers may help by setting up an IM fundraiser, going to a fair, or representing IM at a recruitment event. Special events may be weekday, weekend or evenings.
Administrative Team: Volunteers help with miscellaneous administrative tasks, such as filing, data entry, and answering phone calls. Larger projects may also be available. Administrative opportunities are available throughout IM. Opportunities are available weekdays from 8am-5pm and Saturday mornings.
Group Supervisor: Are you a natural leader? Are you a coach/teacher? Take on a leadership role by providing training and supervision to onsite groups. Opportunities to lead groups, from large corporations to small local chapters, faith based or youth, occur on weekdays from 8am-5pm and Saturday mornings.
FAQs
Do I need any special skills or training for these opportunities?
As with all of our volunteer opportunities, training is required and provided by IM staff, but you don’t need any previous experience or special expertise to help with these projects. For each of these opportunities you’ll have a one-on-one meeting with a staff member to determine the best fit for you.
Where do you need volunteers?
Administrative Team & Group Supervisors volunteer exclusively at W. T. and Louise J. Moran Meals on Wheels Building, 3202 San Jacinto Street, 77004. While Special Events Volunteers are usually assigned to events that take place at various locations.
