Strong neighborhoods are built by neighbors who care. Through the Department of Neighborhoods Volunteer Initiatives Program, you can do more than giving your time, you’re helping create safer, stronger, and more connected communities across Houston.

Whether you’re passionate about beautification projects, supporting neighbors in need, responding to disaster, or serving your community, there are countless ways to make a meaningful impact. Our volunteer initiatives and community partnerships connect Houstonians with hands on service opportunities that strengthen neighborhoods and improve quality of life.

Join us in making a difference, one neighborhood at a time. Learn about additional volunteer opportunities with the City of Houston through Houston Serves at our Volunteer Webpage.

Let’s Work Together

The Department of Neighborhoods works with the Mayor’s Office, City departments, and community partners to improve communities. We collaborate to match the good that already exists in communities with the programs and people who need support. These are some of our key programs.
