The Volunteers of America Classic is a women's professional golf tournament in Texas on the LPGA Tour. It debuted in April 2013 at Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, northwest of downtown Dallas.

Volunteers of America, the title sponsor, is a faith-based nonprofit organization that provides affordable housing and other assistance, primarily to low-income people, throughout the United States.

Inbee Park won the inaugural event, one stroke ahead of Carlota Ciganda,^[2] and became its first multiple winner in 2015. In between, Stacy Lewis won by six strokes in 2014 and set the tournament record at 268 (−16).

In 2018, the tournament moved north to the Old American Golf Club in The Colony, along Lewisville Lake.^[3]
