Thank you for your interest in volunteering with USO Houston!
Volunteers are the heart of the USO and the driving force behind everything we do. Across the Greater Houston Area, more than 250 dedicated individuals volunteer over 28,000 hours annually to support our mission of keeping service members connected to family, home, and country.
Whether it’s welcoming a service member with a cup of coffee, helping a new recruit feel at ease at MEPS, supporting a military family during an outreach event, or simply offering a listening ear and a smile—USO volunteers make a lasting impact every single day.
