About VolunteerTX
VolunteerTX, brought to you by OneStar Foundation, is a digital hub for volunteerism as big as the state of Texas! We pull volunteer opportunities from local volunteer connector organizations, Idealist.Org, AARP, Feeding America, Points of Light, and more, to provide the most comprehensive database of volunteer opportunities in the state, and to connect you to projects and organizations that inspire you to serve.
Governor’s Volunteer Awards
Nominations are now closed for the 41st annual Governor’s Awards (GVA) and winners are expected to be announced in February 2025. GVA shines a spotlight on inspiring stories of service and the diverse ways that Texans are giving back with their time and talents. Administered by OneStar, GVA honors individuals, groups, and Texas organizations that make significant contributions to their communities.
