Volunteer Opportunities

The strength of TAP's mission depends on the help of volunteers. If you want to educate others about alternatives to pesticides or help with a fundraising event, TAP has a volunteer position for you. TAP is currently seeking volunteer support for the following:

Office Help

TAP is seeking ongoing volunteer support to provide administrative assistance in our Houston office. Especially needed are daytime volunteers with general office skills to help us with phone calls, data entry, mailings, and general office duties.
