Dear ______,

We are thrilled to have people of all ages, professions and interests join our team. I know we can find volunteer placements that are stimulating, can accommodate your skills and fit nicely into busy work-life balance schedules. Our committees offer exciting ways to increase community well-being, while providing Sister Cities’ members with rewarding experiences. Many of our committees are in need of volunteer assistance throughout the entire year, and many ways exist where you can lend a valuable and much appreciated hand. Here are just a few of those calling for volunteers:

Networking Dinner Series- Organized throughout the year, these events allow guests to connect over a shared interest in international initiatives. Each dinner features a distinguished guest speaker who is an important and integral member of Houston’s international community.

Fall Concert- Produced annually this hallmark Sister Cities of Houston family fun event features dance and musical performances representing a variety of cultures with the purpose of showcasing Houston’s diverse international community.

Youth Talent Showcase Programs: Sister Cities of Houston organizes several opportunities and events for young people in our community to learn more about youth in other countries and participate in programs that showcase individual skills. Sister Cities International sponsors four youth competitions for artists, photographers, film makers and writers. Young Houston artists have won many awards and have had their work exhibited throughout the country

Soccer Tournament: Soccer teams representing individual sister cities and other Houston-based international organizations have competed in past tournaments.

Festivals and Events: Individual sister cities often invite members of the umbrella organization to join with them for activities.
