Houston Greeters offers you a unique insight into Houston through the eyes and hearts of our residents. Local volunteers act as hosts for two- to four-hour visits to the destination or for the activity of your choice. Whether you want to learn more about the architecture, visit a museum, attend an Astros game, experience Houston nightlife or take a neighborhood stroll, we have a host for you! Our volunteers are not just passionate about Houston; they are also passionate about your interests. Global Greeter Core Values All Greeters and Greeter destinations share the same core values: 1) Greeters are volunteers — friendly faces for those visiting a city/destination; 2) Greeters welcome individuals and may serve small groups of up to six people; 3) Meeting a Greeter is free of charge; 4) All visitors and volunteers are welcomed without any kind of discrimination; 5) Greeter programs support sustainable tourism. Programs respect natural and man-made environments, bringing both cultural and economic enrichment to local communities. Programs aim for a lasting positive image of each destination; 6) Greeter programs create a mutually enriching opportunity for cultural exchange, and create links between ordinary people to create a better world.
