About Cougars for Kids
The Cougars for Kids community service volunteer program was created to
establish an effective avenue to enable University of Houston students
to learn the value of making community service contributions by
becoming Student Volunteers and helping to meet the needs of children
of all ages who are patients in Houston area hospitals and pupils of
its schools.
The goal of this program is to provide volunteer assistance by UH
students, faculty, and alumni to the children in these locations and to
work with existing volunteer staff in the hospitals and schools on an
ongoing basis in meeting the needs of these children. This assistance
will include such activities as: reading, storytelling, playing games,
helping children with their schoolwork assignments, and even becoming a
mentor to some of these youngsters.
The University of Houston considers it a privilege for students to be
accepted into this unique program of student volunteer service.
Standards for this program will be consistent with the same high
standards, values and ethics of the University of Houston and the
various participating hospitals and schools . Students may be required
to submit to certain standardized screening procedures required by the
hospitals. Student participation must be approved by the Cougars for
Kids Program. Once approved, each Student Volunteer will be assigned a
Faculty Sponsor who will collaborate with the student regarding the
student's assignments and recommended number of volunteer service hours
per semester.
UH Cougars for Kids Apparel for Volunteers
Hospitalized children, University of Houston Students, Faculty and
Alumni volunteers will be provided with baseball caps and t-shirts,
that feature the UH Cougars for Kids logo.
Become a Cougars for Kids Student Volunteer
We believe that Cougars for Kids will benefit everyone: the children in the hospitals and the schools, our UH
students and faculty, the University of Houston, and the entire community.
