Virginia Tech created a new volunteer program called VT-ENGAGE to encourage volunteerism and enhance the relationship and partnership efforts between the university and the community.
United Way and VT-Engage are community partners in an effort to match volunteers with organizations needing volunteer help by utilizing an online system called Volunteer Solutions. You can use Volunteer Solutions to find volunteer opportunities and/or post the volunteer needs of your group.
Volunteers: We encourage you to register and complete a volunteer profile so you can receive email alerts about opportunities you would like. Click here to register.
Non-Profits: Register your group's volunteer and donation needs so you can receive email alerts about matches to help you. Agencies and organizations, click here to register.
VT-ENGAGE reaffirms Virginia Tech's commitment to service worldwide and helps people actively live out its motto, Ut Prosim, That I May Serve – established in 1896.
If you live outside the New River Valley area, simply enter the zip code of your community in the U.S. and opportunities listed closest to you will be listed.

Downtown Merchants Of Blacksburg
| Last updated on October 15, 2008 |
The Downtown Merchants of Blacksburg (DMOB)is a non-profit alliance of independent business owners whose mission is to advance community and economic vitality within the town's central business district.
Description:
In the 20 years since its founding, DMOB has helped to preserve and enhance Blacksburg's historic town center. Downtown Merchants participated in founding the Blacksburg Farmers Market; contributed tens of thousands of dollars to restoring the Lyric Theatre; and helped to pay for lamps, pavers and park benches through the town. Nearly a third of DMOB's 80 members have been in business for decades, despite the challenge of big box retailers and the internet. The Downtown Merchants of Blacksburg are a living testimony to the value of buying local. Perhaps their greatest gift to the community has been Steppin' Out, Blacksburg's much-loved annual street fair -- after 27 years, it has become a community institution.
