About Us

MISSION

Connect individuals, groups, and companies with nonprofit agencies to transform the greater Houston community for good through volunteerism.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION STATEMENT

Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston (IM) recognizes and celebrates the rich cultural, religious, and social pluralism of the Greater Houston Community. We are committed to diversity and inclusion in our programming.

WHAT WE DO

We offer a free web-based tool – the VH Portal – for nonprofits, schools, government offices, and volunteers to autonomously connect with each other in the greater Houston area and Gulf Coast region of Texas. We also offer local programming for volunteers, training, and networking for nonprofit leaders, and Corporate Social Responsibility project management services for companies.

Volunteer Houston is the Points of Light affiliate in Houston. Points of Light is the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service. They mobilize millions of people to take action that is changing the world through affiliates in 250 cities across 37 countries and partnerships with thousands of nonprofits and corporations. Points of Light engages 5 million volunteers in 20 million hours of service each year.

Volunteer Houston was founded in 1974 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. In October 2017, Volunteer Houston merged with Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston (IM). When that happened our mission did not change. Volunteer Houston is a proud program of the Vic Samuels Center for Volunteerism & Civic Service at Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston, a 501(c)3 secular nonprofit organization that envisions a community working and acting together in response to the needs of a Greater Houston to create a more respectful, connected, and caring society.
