Volunteer Opportunities
Sew with Middle School Kids
Workshop Houston gives young people the opportunity to
learn new skills, build relationships with supportive role models, and find creative ways to connect
to the importance of education. What began as a bike shop in the Third Ward has grown to include other
programs that provide teenagers with positive alternatives at this important time in their lives.
One of these programs is the Style Shop, where students create their own custom-made
fashions and accessories. Volunteers are needed to teach kids how to sew, do alterations, and build all the skills necessary for
creating quality fashions. ASG Houston member Alice Anjo, who volunteers two hours a
week, has a great time with the kids, and she encourages more members to come out and help the community.

Clothing Mender
Dress for Success promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women
by providing professional attire, a network of support, and career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
We are an international not-for-profit organization, and the individuals who donate their time and talent to us make it possible
for us to fulfill our mission.
Currently we are looking for a part-time volunteer to mend clothing. You would pick up the clothing
at our location (near Dacoma and 290) about every other month, and then return the mended
items. You would sew buttons on jackets or blouses, mend torn linings, replace zippers on skirts or pants, etc. There are
no alterations. Mending is done at your home on your schedule, and there is no pressure to return clothing at prescribed times.
Supplies and mileage are not reimbursed.
Interested? Please contact Melinda Wood
for more information.
