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, Houston are Students, UH Students, Faculty and Alumni volunteers will be provided with baseball caps and t-shirts,
that feature the UH Cougars for Kids logo.
