The Ugnayan ng Pahinungód Manila was established in 1994 with the goal of institutionalizing voluntarism ideals. The fundamental values of volunteerism and cooperation became a reality with the goal of inspiring people to give back through volunteer opportunities that match their interests and skill sets. Along with this, the organization has dedicated itself to empowering individuals, families, and communities in order to create a more sustainable future for all.

Its current programs are clustered into three: Educational Program (Teachers Development Program, Tutorial Services Program); Community Health Programs (Health Missions, Health Education and Training, Emergency Room Volunteers Program, Hospice Care Program); and Social Services Programs (Summer Immersion Service Program, Program for the Street children, Livelihood Program, Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction Management Program, Environmental Health Education Program). There is one stand-alone program: Advocacy Program. Its volunteers come from the ranks of the health professionals, personnel, students, alumni, and other willing volunteers from sectors outside the University.
