Volunteer Houston, a program of IM Houston, connects people with volunteering opportunities to serve across Greater Houston. We bring together volunteers, agencies, and companies to strengthen Houston’s culture of service and build a more compassionate city.
As the local Points of Light affiliate, Volunteer Houston is part of a larger movement dedicated to advancing volunteerism. Through our online portal and community partnerships, we make it easier to give back, respond in times of disaster, and help create a stronger, more resilient Houston.
