Monarch butterflies and other pollinators need our help, and you can make a real impact right at home.  

Join Keep McKinney Beautiful in promoting the creation of Monarch Waystations throughout McKinney. By planting native and adapted plants, residents can provide essential food, shelter, and breeding habitat for monarchs and other pollinators while contributing to a healthier, more resilient community. Monarch populations continue to face habitat loss across North America. Small actions, like a native backyard garden or container planting, add up to big change as native plants support pollinators, birds, and local ecosystems. 

McKinney proudly supports monarch conservation at the leadership level as well. The Mayor of McKinney annually participates in the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayoral Monarch Pledge, reinforcing the City’s ongoing commitment to protecting pollinators and expanding habitat. 

 Ways to Get Involved 

Helpful Resources 

Green Gardens at Gabe Nesbitt Park

The Green Gardens of McKinney serve as an excellent local example of how native plants and pollinator-friendly designs can thrive in public spaces. These gardens demonstrate how thoughtful planting supports monarchs, conserves water, and builds community pride. 

Program HOME 

A Blackland Prairie Texas Master Naturalist project that aims to consult and help guide residents in our community in creating habitats, increasing biodiversity, and educating about sustainability. This program is designed to help all residents, from landowners to homeowners to apartment occupants, by helping them achieve their goals for their own spaces. 

Monarch Waystation Program 
Create a Monarch Waystation to give butterflies and other pollinators the food and shelter they need to survive by planting native and adapted plants. 

National Wildlife Federation Certification Program 
Anyone can create a welcoming haven for local wildlife. Turning your yard, balcony container garden, schoolyard, work landscape, or roadside greenspace into a Certified Wildlife Habitat®is fun, easy, and can make a lasting difference for wildlife. 

Homegrown National Park Project 

Be part of a nationwide movement to restore biodiversity by planting native plants and removing invasives, turning everyday spaces into a connected “national park” for wildlife.

Did you create a Monarch Waystation or pollinator garden? We’d love to hear about it! Your story helps inspire others and strengthens our growing habitat network across McKinney. 

Share Your Monarch Waystation Story with Keep McKinney Beautiful 

Together, we can grow a network of pollinator habitats across McKinney, one garden at a time.

Elevate North Texas Youth Shelter

Board of Directors Role

Elevate North Texas Youth Shelter is seeking qualified candidates to serve as volunteer board members for our growing nonprofit organization.

What we do: Elevate provides temporary shelter and a path to housing stability for youth and young adults (ages 18-24) who find themselves homeless.  

Where: in Collin County and Dallas County.

Our Mission: Elevate North Texas offers a welcoming, affirming environment with immediate, short-term housing and personal case management for youth (18-24) in crisis, partnering with them to create a path to housing stability.  

Our Vision: A community where all youth in crisis have a safe, affirming place to sleep and the support they need to thrive.

Background

In our short (5 year) history we have guided hundreds of youth in Dallas and Collin County to housing stability, and away from the risks of living on the streets.

Guided by our passionate Founder/Executive Director, our committed and talented board, and our small but impactful staff, Elevate has grown from providing 2 temporary beds in 2021, to 20 beds in 2025. And we will grow to serve more.

Our unique model is asset light, staff light, and bureaucracy light, so that most of our donor dollars can go directly to shelter and personal case management. We partner with local hotels to provide up to 60 days of shelter, where our youth can be safe, while our case managers guide them to stable housing outcomes.

Chronic homelessness is a growing challenge in North Texas, and around our nation. At Elevate, our first priority is the safety of each youth we serve. However, we also believe that our role in diverting young adults from a life of homelessness, can meaningfully reduce the number of adults who find themselves chronically homeless in the future.  

The Board Opportunity

We are seeking board candidates to help Elevate reach its next level of strategic growth in solving youth homelessness. We have a strong foundation in place, and it is time to take our outreach to the next level. Ideally, (but not exclusively) candidates would have expertise that would help round out and support our current board skillset. Needs include:

Financial executives or CPAs

Marketing and social media experts

Ideally (but not exclusively), candidates would help the board membership align with the diversity of the population that we serve

We pride ourselves on being cost effective and impactful. We have only a small staff, so, beyond typical advisory and governance, our board members generally lean in and provide direct support in their areas of expertise.

Does Elevate’s vision resonate with you? Do you think you can play an impactful role in helping Elevate reach its full potential? Please contact our Board President, Kathryn Paterson at Kathrynp@elevatentx.org to ask questions and/or provide us with your background. Or fill out a volunteer application at www.elevatentx.org/volunteer to get the conversation started.

HSF will welcome 20–25 new college scholars in April 2026, and each student will need a dedicated volunteer coach. While the majority of new coaching opportunities will begin in April, there may also be openings throughout the year if a student needs to be reassigned.

We’re actively recruiting now so we can match coaches as soon as opportunities arise—whether next week or next spring. If you're interested in making a meaningful difference, sign up today!

The HSF coaching program is the main differentiator between HSF and other scholarship organizations. One-to-one coaching is a significant contributor to a student’s academic success.

Students are each assigned a Coach to mentor them throughout the college journey. Coaches help their student monitor progress with their degree plan and stay on track to meet the Hendrick program requirements. They also provide direction with important decisions regarding other aspects of their student’s life and help guide students to learn to manage their time, set priorities, and develop good study habits. A coach is an advocate and a supportive resource, providing encouragement and helping the student stay focused on his or her goals.

A willingness to learn about their student and build a relationship

Connect with their student once a month (phone, Zoom, or in person)

Attend end of semester Student Reviews (January and June)

Inform the Student Success Committee of any needs or questions that arise

Looking for a fun and meaningful way to give back? Our pantry operates like a real grocery store — guests browse, choose their own groceries, and leave with dignity and full bags. But we can’t do it without YOU!

Our food pantry is a lifeline for many local families — and we couldn’t do it without our volunteers. Whether you’re stocking shelves, greeting guests, or packing groceries, you’ll be offering more than food — you’ll be offering care, dignity, and hope.

What You’ll Do as a Volunteer:

We are in urgent need of bottled water to support individuals experiencing homelessness in our community—especially during this extreme Texas heat. Through our Church Without Walls outreach, we serve and minister to over 40 people on the streets every single day, offering food, clothing, encouragement, and prayer.

Your bottled water donations help prevent dehydration and show our neighbors they are seen, loved, and not forgotten.

Drop-Off Location:

2332 Claridge Circle, Plano 75075

Donations can be dropped off any time.

Be part of a life-changing outreach experience! Every Friday, rain or shine, join our team at Metro Relief’s headquarters in The Colony to serve individuals experiencing homelessness. Our custom outreach bus – half food truck, half passenger van – takes up to 15 volunteers directly to local homeless encampments to distribute hot soup, bottled water, hygiene kits, and clothing.

The day begins at 8:30 AM with a warm welcome and orientation at our home base. You’ll help prepare our nutritious homemade soup, sort essential supplies, and load the bus for departure around 9:45 AM. Throughout the day, you’ll not only provide much-needed items, but also build human connections – sharing stories, listening with empathy, and offering hope.

We return to the Metro Relief base by 1:30 PM, where we wrap up with clean-up and debrief, finishing the experience by 2:00 PM.

This is more than just a volunteer opportunity – it’s a chance to make a real impact in someone’s life and be reminded of the power of kindness and connection.

If you're passionate about environmental conservation and eager to make a difference, joining our core team is a meaningful way to contribute to the cause.

By contributing to our spay/neuter fund, you’re not just supporting Collin County Animal Services—you’re helping to reduce the number of homeless pets in our community and giving every animal a better chance at a healthy, happy life.

Your donation makes it possible for us to provide essential spay and neuter surgeries, ensuring that more animals can be adopted into loving homes. Even a small gift can make a huge difference: fewer litters mean fewer animals in shelters and more resources to care for those in need.

Together, we can create a brighter future for our furry friends.
