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
Congratulations to the recipients of the 40th annual Governor’s Awards (GVA)!

This annual volunteer recognition program, administered by OneStar, honors Texans and Texas organizations that make significant contributions to their communities. Award recipients were honored in April during Volunteer Month at the Texas Governor’s Mansion.
