Joseph Gallegos, Humble High School alumnus and club president, is spending his summer months organizing the Lone Star College-Kingwood’s Ecology Club’s Food Drive to benefit Humble Area Assistance Ministries.

“The purpose of the food drive is to help people that are in need [of food] in this economic crisis,” Gallegos said. “We believe that just ecology is not all the club is about. The club is also about helping the community.”

Gallegos’ high-school mentor and Spanish Club sponsor Yallian Spears says, “Joseph is a young leader, a caring young man whose ultimate goal is to help others.” Spears goes on to say “the quality I like the most about him is that he always involves others to reach that goal. He’s very organized, focused and decisive, and for those reasons he will change the world little by little, one step a time. At Humble High School, we’re so proud of alumni like him.”

January was declared National Mentoring Month by President George W. Bush in 2002 as part of a high profile campaign to draw attention to the ever-growing need for more volunteer mentors to aid America's youth in achieving their fullest potential. In 2009, over 375,000 Americans sought out information on local mentoring programs as a response to the need.

Humble I.S.D., the educational district for Royal Shores at Kingwood, is in need of volunteer mentors for students, especially at Humble Middle School and Timberwood Middle Schools. Mentoring has been shown to aid in reducing youth drug abuse, violence and pregnancy, as well as encouraging healthy and productive lifestyles.
