Anchored In Honor

⚓ BOARD MEMBERS WANTED ⚓

Anchored In Honor Foundation is growing, and we need veterans who are ready to help steer it.

We put veterans and first responders on the water. Real trips, real fishing, no clinical runaround. What we need now is leadership behind the scenes that matches what we do on the deck.

WE ARE FILLING VOLUNTEER BOARD SEATS: ★ President ★ Vice President ★ Secretary ★ Treasurer ★ Trustees ★ Committee Chairs (events, fundraising, outreach)

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: ⚓ U.S. military veterans, women and men, all branches ⚓ Retired, disabled, or active Reserve and Guard welcome ⚓ Galveston Bay, Clear Lake, and greater Houston area preferred ⚓ People who show up, not people who want a title on a page

WHAT YOU WOULD ACTUALLY DO: ⚓ Provide oversight and governance for a 501(c)(3) ⚓ Mentor veterans and youth coming through our programs ⚓ Help plan and run boating trips, fundraisers, and public events ⚓ Carry a piece of the admin, legal, and compliance load

Straight talk: these are volunteer seats, non-paid at this time. What you get is a real say in how this foundation grows, volunteer hours that are reportable for agency and work programs, and a crew of people who still take the oath seriously.

If you served and you have been looking for a way to keep serving, this is it.

⚓️ **Female Veterans Wanted | Board Leadership + Mentorship Opportunity** 🎀

Anchored In Honor Foundation Inc. is actively looking for **female U.S. military veterans** who are ready to lead, serve, mentor, and help shape the future of this organization.

Our mission is bigger than putting veterans on boats. 🎣

We serve those who served by creating healing, connection, and purpose through fishing, boating, and outdoor experiences. But we are also building an avenue for the next generation. That means our youth need to see strong examples of leadership from both women and men who understand service, discipline, resilience, accountability, and community.

We are looking for women veterans who may be interested in:

⚓️ Serving on the Anchored In Honor board
🎀 Helping lead veteran and youth-focused programs
🌊 Mentoring girls and boys in a safe, structured environment
🎣 Supporting fishing, boating, outdoor, and community events
🛡️ Helping us build something that lasts beyond one person, one boat, or one event

Female veterans bring a perspective this mission needs. Our girls need to see women who have served, led, overcome, and continued to give back. Our boys need that example too.

This organization will serve veterans, but it will also help shape young people who need guidance, structure, protection, and positive role models.

Because we will be working with youth, **all adults involved in youth-facing programs will be required to complete a background check and any required government-regulated mentor training.** 🛡️

We are building this the right way.

Anchored In Honor Foundation Inc. is a **501(c)(3) nonprofit organization**. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

🎣 Volunteer Veterans Fishing Guide Needed | Galveston Bay / Clear Lake Area

Anchored In Honor Foundation Inc. is looking for U.S. Military Veterans who know the water, know how to fish, and want to help other veterans experience something real, meaningful, and healing.

We are looking for a local fishing expert, captain, or experienced fishing enthusiast who knows great fishing locations, techniques, seasonal patterns, bait, tackle, and the waters around Galveston Bay, Clear Lake, and surrounding areas. We want to make sure each veteran goes home with cooler full of fresh local fish.

This volunteer role could be crucial in helping us get groups of veterans out on the water and actually catching fish.

Some of the veterans we serve may have never fished before. Others may just need a day away from the noise. Either way, the goal is simple:

Show up. Guide. Teach. Help veterans connect.

Typical outings may include small groups of 5–7 veterans, with larger trips possible as donations, sponsorships, and grants allow us to expand.

Volunteer hours can be counted and reported for eligible agencies, programs, or work requirements. We would also love for the right person to consider this as a long-term commitment, with the potential to grow into a board or leadership role within the organization.

BoatingCommunity TexasVeterans VolunteerOpportunity SaltwaterTherapy

With Juneteenth a little over a month away, I've been kicking around an idea for Juneteenth weekend and wanted to gauge interest before putting real wheels in motion.
Thinking about organizing a laid-back “Juneteenth On The Water” social around Galveston. Birthplace of Juneteenth

Possibly involving:
-Marina meetup
-boat run/sandbar gathering
-Food on the beach
-ci**rs
-music
-veterans
-networking
-Introducing more people to boating culture who normally never get exposure to it
-BYO Everything

I don't want to create another ratchet turn-up event. The goal is something elevated but still relaxed and authentic.

A lot of people have never:
-been on a boat
-docked at a marina
-experienced the boating community
-seen Black maritime culture outside of music videos

Trying to build something different.

If this sounds interesting, drop a comment or message me.

Trying to see how many boaters, mariners, veterans, families, and good people would actually show up before moving forward.
