I am thrilled that the Mayor\u2019s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) is working closely with host city organizer Jewish Family Service and its Alexander Institute for Inclusion. This city-wide film and arts festival is dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories and artistic expressions of individuals with various disabilities.

There will be approximately 15 screenings during the week at locations around the city. Volunteers are needed at each screening to make this event a success. Volunteers are also needed on Sunday, January 27 to help assemble special giveaway items (key chains and flash drives) for film attendees. Assembly of giveaway items will occur at 4131 S. Braeswood, Houston, Texas from 10:00 a.m. to noon or noon to 2:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

As volunteers for this event, we are looking for individuals like you to help out throughout the festival. Critical tasks include working at the films and screenings to welcome guests and speakers, distribute promotional materials and hand out giveaways. We also need volunteers to drop off posters and brochures at various venues, and to work at the festival\u2019s visual arts exhibition.<\/p>\n
