Volunteer Houston

In 1974, a group of Houstonians very involved in the philanthropic community realized that the growing number of nonprofits needed a better way to engage citizens as volunteers. After a national search for a solution they organized a local Volunteer Center to serve as a clearinghouse for volunteers. For nearly 50 years Volunteer Houston (VH) has been the city's sole referral service connecting volunteers to a broad spectrum of nonprofits, schools, government offices, and other volunteer programs throughout 13 counties of the Texas Gulf Coast Region.

VH, a program of Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston, connects individuals, groups and companies with nonprofit agencies to transform our community for good through volunteerism. By offering an online portal volunteer administrators and volunteers are able to autonomously connect with each other. VH also offers additional programming, training, networking, and service project management services. VH is a Points of Light affiliate.
