Our Focus

We offer a web-based tool for nonprofits, schools, government offices and volunteers to autonomously post and respond to volunteer opportunities in the greater Houston area and 13 counties in the Gulf Coast region of Texas.

Volunteer Houston also offers programming for volunteers, training and networking for nonprofit leaders and Corporate Social Responsibility project management services for companies.

Why Volunteer Houston?

Save staff time and streamline your volunteer engagement processes with the Volunteer Houston portal. An unlimited number of your staff members can:
✩ Access more than 100,000+ registered volunteers
✩ Post one-time, multi-shift, recurring and ongoing volunteer needs
✩ Communicate with volunteers who have responded
✩ Track volunteer hours
✩ Build event online registration forms
✩ Access inactive needs for historical purposes

Nonprofit Leaders Forum

More talk, less presentation.
Based on feedback from local nonprofit leaders, Volunteer Houston understands a top priority for you is the opportunity to network with each other. In response, we’ve created two networking platforms:

  1. Facebook Group (JOIN)
  2. Bimonthly Gatherings (REGISTER)

Both serve as a gathering of greater Houston area nonprofit leaders and team members where we exchange ideas, advice, resources and real-life stories of successes and challenges.

Agency Membership Levels

Volunteer Houston is a connector and convener of nonprofits, schools and government offices in the Gulf Coast region. We offer not only the web-based portal but also local services and programs for agencies and volunteers alike. Thank you to the nonprofit leaders who responded to surveys, polls and invitations. It’s through these conversations that we have developed a new agency membership structure.
