Volunteering at HGI

Because the Houston Galveston Institute (HGI) is a not-for-profit organization, volunteers are vital to our success. HGI has been using volunteers to support our various programs for many years. Our volunteers are very diverse and consist of individuals from different cultures, age groups, educational and professional backgrounds. This diversity helps enrich the Institute’s capabilities.

At the end of 2008, HGI expanded its volunteer initiative into daily operations. More recently, HGI utilized volunteer consultants from Executive Service Corps of Houston (ESCH) to facilitate strategic plan processes. We also received a grant from ESCH to receive assistance with updating the website and database. This project team consisted of four students from the University of Houston and a consultant from ESCH.

HGI has also begun expanding its scope of volunteers, both in terms of skill level and experience, by collaborating with agencies such as the Small Business Administration/SCORE to obtain pro bono business development services. Such pro bono services allow us to more readily develop short- and long-term plans for our counseling services.
