About Us Urban Outreach, Inc. (UOI) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. We fulfill our mission through a range of programming targeting at-risk children, the chronically unemployed or underemployed, and low-income apartment residents. Our holistic approach to the family touches all of its members by providing activities and services through programs that meet their spiritual, physical, social, and educational needs. Our vision is to see the Houston community transformed through the lifestyle changes of individual residents resulting in stronger, healthier families. Several local churches formed what was to be UOI in the early 1990’s in a collaborative effort to expand their outreach to the community. What began as an ad-hoc effort among several partnering churches to reach out to local public schools and low-income apartment dwellings blossomed into a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to strengthening and preserving families across Houston. UOI serves clients in apartment complexes, area schools, and several community centers. Urban Outreach, Inc. is supported by a dedicated Board of Trustees, staff, and program volunteers as well as churches, foundations, corporations, and individuals. Volunteering Urban Outreach, Inc. needs hundreds of volunteers each year. Opportunities are many in the Apartment Ministry Program including apartment program coordinators, Bible teacher, animal story teller, history story teller, memory verse mimic leader, craft teacher/helper, game leader, and computer trainer. The Summer Camping Program offers volunteer opportunities for chaperones to accompany campers to and from camp, sponsors to assist campers during the camping week, and a part-time administrative assistant. A special event organizer is needed.
Major programs being administered by Urban Outreach, Inc. Trustees, staff, and volunteers include the Apartment Ministry Program (APM), Character Development in Schools Program (CDSP), Christian Summer Camping Program (CSCP), Summer Soccer Program, WINGS Life Skills Program and other Collaborative Programs.
