About us
For nearly half a century, the State of Texas has recognized the critical importance of civic engagement in building resilient and thriving communities. When OneStar was established to carry on this legacy, the Governor described Texans as “a dedicated and selfless people who have a long and proud history of responding when their neighbors need help” and cited the power of volunteer action to “transform our communities, our families and the lives of individual Texans, and enrich the life of the volunteer.” OneStar harnesses this extraordinary Texan spirit of service by creating pathways for individuals and organizations to engage, connect and accelerate impact for our state. Through our diverse initiatives, we equip Texans to develop and advance innovative solutions to our state’s most pressing challenges. Born from state government, we carry out our mission for Texas with direction and guidance from the Office of the Governor. We are recognized as a statewide voice for the nonprofit sector and a respected partner to foundations, state agencies, and the business community. Together, we are One Texas, united in building resilient and thriving communities.

This week, we commemorated a bittersweet work anniversary for our Director of Operations Glenn Goodrich, who is departing from OneStar after 10 years of dedicated service. We extend our fond gratitude for his commitment to strengthening Texas communities and supporting the strategic growth and impact of OneStar. Glenn joined OneStar in 2004 to oversee the launch and growth of the OneStar AmeriCorps VISTA Project before being promoted to the executive team as Director of Operations in 2019. His bold leadership guided OneStar through major milestones—from opening new offices in Austin and Dallas to navigating the COVID-19 pandemic—and introduced new policies and systems that have improved efficiency and compliance of our operations. Please join us in thanking Glenn for his valuable contributions to OneStar and wishing him the best in his next chapter!

As AmeriCorps commemorates its 30th anniversary, the time is ripe to both celebrate three decades of extraordinary impact and to look ahead to what it will take for this powerful movement to be even stronger in the decades to come. Last week, OneStar was invited to join national service leaders at The White House in Washington, DC, to ideate and imagine what the next 30 years of #AmeriCorps might be — without the pressures of short-term priorities or legislative and funding constraints. We are grateful to AmeriCorps for creating this valuable space for us to dream big and craft an ambitious vision for the future of the program! Let us know in the comments: What ideas or opportunities do you think AmeriCorps should pursue in the years ahead?
