Volunteers will accompany groups of students to a local non-profit organization that you may choose from the list below. Please plan to arrive on campus by 8am. Buses will provide transportation to and from each charity. All groups will spend roughly 3 hours at their organization, completing a variety of projects, before returning to the school around 12:30pm. YES Prep Southwest is located at 4411 Anderson Road, Houston, TX, 77053 (for directions, click here). Each group is led and accompanied by more than one teacher (chaperone), so you will not be asked to take on that responsibility. Please let me know which group you all would like to work with by Friday (you guys can split up if you’d like). If you have any other questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me! Our students are very excited to meet you all and hear your stories, and I am confident it will be a very enjoyable experience for you all as well.
