Archbishop Fiorenza Park Phase 2 Bird Survey @ Archbishop Fiorenza Park
Feb 23 @ 8:00 am

Meet in front of the bathrooms near the parking lot off Eldridge.

Are you looking for a fantastic place to see an amazing array of birds? Join Houston Audubon on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Archbishop Fiorenza Park (Phase 2) between Eldridge and Highway 6 for the chance to see a multitude of species, get a good healthy walk in and enjoy the company of other outdoor loving folks. This park has miles of paved trails, wooded thickets, open grassy areas, large detention ponds with bird islands and much more. It is north of the Westpark Tollway and just north of the original Archbishop Fiorenza Park on Eldridge.

Email Mary Anne Weber at if you’d like to participate.

Volunteer Engagement Training Series @ Online and Location HYBRID (First + last module in person, 2nd-5th modules virtual via Zoom) Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston
Mar 1 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
If 2020 was the year of cancelled plans and 2021 was the year of catching up, then 2022 is the year of innovation!

Each module in this course (developed by Points of Light, facilitated by Volunteer Houston) will empower volunteer managers and coordinators – both formal and informal – to return to their organization and to their team with ready-to-use tools, best practices, and innovative ideas that, when fully adopted, will boost volunteer engagement in a way that naturally fosters long-term volunteers.

ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED TO 23 PARTICIPANTS. REGISTER EARLY TO SAVE YOUR SEAT!

Volunteer Houston will introduce the Supportive Environments for Effectiveness (SEE) framework. When nonprofits adopt a SEE-mindset and experiment with small changes in their work environments, transformation is possible.
