Be Part of the sMILES Team

• Pacer — Help lead a pace group so runners of every speed have someone to run alongside and stay motivated with.
• Media Team — Capture our runs and events through photos and video, and help tell the sMILES story on social media.
• Exercise Instructor — Lead a warm-up, stretch session, or cross-training day for the group.

Volunteer Out in the Community

Giving back is a big part of who we are. Beyond our weekly runs, Houston sMILES loves finding ways to give back to the community that continues to show up for us. Over time, our members have volunteered together with organizations including:

• Books Between Kids — supporting childhood literacy and helping put books into the hands of local children.
• Houston Food Bank — helping provide food and resources to families throughout our community.
• Kids’ Meals — helping prepare meals for children and families in need.
• Habitat for Humanity — lending a hand to help build and support stronger communities.
• Sleep in Heavenly Peace — helping make sure local children have a safe, comfortable bed to sleep in.
• HAWC — supporting efforts that provide resources and assistance to people in our community.
• BEAR — helping support children and families involved with child protective services.

And we’re not stopping there. We’re always looking for new ways to show up for Houston. If you’d like to volunteer alongside us, help organize a community service day, or join us at our next opportunity, we’d love to have you be part of it.
