PROTECT STORM DRAINS
Just one quart of motor oil can ruin the quality of 250,000 gallons of
water. Decomposing leaves and grass clippings can cause large amounts
of algae to grow which depletes the oxygen level in the water and can
lead to fish kills. The blowing, sweeping or dumping of grass clippings
and other pollutants down the storm drain is against Texas State Law
punishable by a fine of $5,000 for each offense.

on horseback happen every day. The work of our
dedicated volunteers helps guarantee that children

healthier, more productive lives.
In addition to their weekly work in the arena, many of
our volunteers donate their time and talents at fundraising
events such as our annual Ride-A-Thon and the
yearly Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers are on hand
during the NARHA on-site certification and annual
SIRE Show-Off and volunteers are vital to our Clients’
successes at the Top Hands Horse Show, during the
Houston Rodeo and competition at the regional and

creates a bond of success between the rider and their
horse. Volunteers are their own personal cheering
section and the instructor is their mentor and coach.
Clients become more empowered and better equipped
to fully live their lives, each day.

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION
FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL)
When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent.
That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities
arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out
how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month.
Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help prepare
for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course
culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish
Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using
computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or
other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community
service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.
