Vogt Engineering Supports United Way

March 16, 2022

Earlier this month, Vogt Engineering was proud to support and attend the United Way’s annual Women Who Rock event. This fundraising event salutes extraordinary young parents in our community and empowers them to continue their education while utilizing the Women Who Rock childcare scholarship. The 600 guests in attendance heard from scholarship recipients how the scholarships have transformed their lives. The scholarship pays childcare and provides financial literacy classes for deserving young parents who are committed to pursuing post-secondary education.


Did you know the average annual cost of childcare in Houston is more than $13,000 per child? The cost to take a fulltime course load for one year at Lone Star Community College is approximately $3,000. In comparison, the cost of childcare for that school year is more than 3 times the cost of tuition. In 2021, supporters in the greater Houston area contributed to the United Way Women Who Rock event to help raise funds for 10 childcare scholarships.  Additionally, the Scholarship has supported more than 100 young parents and has celebrated 22 graduates. 


Yasmin has a lot to be proud of: she is the first person in her family to graduate from college and she is the mother of two

 beautiful baby girls. As she worked to earn her associate degree from Lone Star College and then her bachelor’s degree

from Sam Houston State University, United Way’s Women Who Rock Child Care Scholarship helped her secure childcare

that allowed her to focus on school knowing her daughters were well cared for. Yasmin received the scholarship for three

years, which she says not only relieved the financial burden of childcare while she pursued her education, but also ensured

that she could put her girls in a safe and quality childcare center where they could learn and grow.



United Way of Greater Houston engages caring people to improve lives & build a stronger community.

Even before the pandemic, economic fallout, and winter storm of 2021, too many families in our community were struggling to pay for necessities, let alone save for the future or an unexpected expense. These families often must make impossible choices, such as deciding whether to buy food, pay for health care, or make rent.


With your support, the United Way can continue to make a difference in our community. Join us in supporting Montgomery County through United Way! Be on the lookout early next year to purchase your tickets to support Women Who Rock benefitting young parents in our community.

Vogt Engineering Celebrates National Bike Month

By Tiffany Marascio • May 17, 2024
May is National Bike Month, but Vogt Engineering celebrates and encourages biking all year. Our team enjoys using our office bikes to get out and experience nature, taking advantage of our central location in The Woodlands Town Center. About National Bike Month National Bike Month, after many previous iterations, was officially established in 1956. Today, National Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists , which incorporates accessible ways to start biking by hosting smaller experiences such as National Bike to Work Week (usually held the third week of May), and Bike to Work Day (usually that Friday). Health Benefits According to the Harvard School of Public Health , biking can help “improve mental health by lowering stress levels and stimulating feel-good endorphins.” Other health benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness stronger muscles greater coordination and general mobility reduced body fat Vogt's Commitment to our Team and the Environment One of Vogt Engineering’s major considerations when looking for an office was easily accessible trails for riding bikes and walking. We are fortunate to have found a great place to be with our great team of people. Not only is biking and being outdoors good for mental and physical health, but we value working with the environment in everything we do. Although many civil engineering projects require earth movement, Vogt is committed to finding solutions that complement the natural surroundings of the site. Get Involved There are many local entities that organize Bike Month events, including The Woodlands, Harris County Precinct 3 (at Burroughs Park), and more.
