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.”

VETP Graduate, 2022

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.

Veronica Bucio, United Against Human Trafficking

I am just slowing down for the day and didn’t want to end it without saying THANK YOU for considering HCCAC for this wonderful opportunity. Volunteer Houston has been a far greater resource than I ever imagined.

Michelle Bonton, Harris County Cultural Arts Center

Thank 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.
