We offer a free web-based portal connecting nonprofits, schools, government offices, and volunteers across the Greater Houston area and 13 surrounding counties. Our platform enables agencies to independently post volunteer needs, manage responses, and connect with a diverse network of volunteers.
Our services include training and networking for nonprofit leaders, volunteer programming for individuals and groups, project management for companies, and an Agency Spotlight program that highlights organizations and their current volunteer needs.

Testimonials
We actually built up a marvelous base of volunteers through Volunteer Houston. Even when we made one of our needs inactive, we had such a list of willing volunteers that have been a tremendous base of consistent volunteers at the center! Thank you! It is a testimony of the quality and seriousness of the volunteers that come through Volunteer Houston.
Andi Cook, JustServe“The VETP was a really neat experience – learning about what we already do but in a quantified, specified capacity is helpful as we plan and move forward. It was joyous to connect with other volunteer administrators and learn that we all have the same struggles.”
As for the MLK Mural assembly, we all loved the fact that it came in panels because different volunteer “artists” contributed to painting of it. We loved that communal aspect of it all! It’s eye-catching and a conversation starter. And in talking about it with visitors and clients, we’ve gotten nothing but positive and nice comments.
Ten years ago, Freewheels Houston started with a simple idea: a bicycle could change a life. Volunteer Houston was the spark for us. They connected us with the hands and hearts that make our mission possible. Every volunteer who shows up, every hour spent fixing bikes or teaching safety – it started with a connection.
Bill Mintz, Freewheels HoustonThank you so much for the information at the VETP these past two weeks! You do such a great job as a presenter! I found many things that I could learn from and improve the way I am currently running my Volunteering Program. I will keep all the materials as a reference going forward. I will look forward to further training and opportunities through Volunteer Houston.
We have appreciated our partnership with Volunteer Houston and have found it to be a tremendous resource in helping us recruit quality volunteers for administrative support and mentors for our Roots and Wings Mentoring Program!
We’re happy to continue working with Volunteer Houston in an effort to advance our Family Roots for Life, Inc.® mission to help youth, young adults, and families!
