Y Student Programs provides opportunities
for you to develop leadership skills while participating in volunteer service within our local community, nationally, and internationally. Our programs include student and
community volunteers, but are all run by
student leaders and advised by YMCA staff.
Interested in volunteering with
one of our many programs?
Visit our office at 312 Squires Student Center
to fill out an application and talk with Sandy or Jen.
YSP programs will begin again in September, as will the New Volunteer Orientations. Please check back later for more info.
Our Ytoss? 2009 collection took place
May 9-14
Ytoss?
Sale dates are August 20 and 21
from 9am-it's all gone!!
Be sure to
arrive at the Y Center (1000 N. Main Street, Blacksburg) early to beat
the crowds!
Great bargains on essential college living items.
A HUGE thanks goes out to all of you who assisted us with our 4th successful Ytoss? event this spring.
We had a total of 189 volunteers
assisting at collection points and at the Y Center. That’s the highest
number ever!!!!! Zack is working on compiling the total hours worked –
I’m sure it will blow us away.
The collection went really well!
For those of you working Saturday-Monday, you might find that hard to
believe! But donations really picked up Tues and Wed and we were super
busy everywhere! I made a VERY rough estimate of items that came in.
If anything, the numbers are lower than what we actually collected.
Garbage bags full of clothing = 100+
Fans = 80+
Hutches = 90+
Microwaves = 40+
Rugs (uggh!) = 240+
Shelves = 47
Crates of food = 40+
And
much, much more: lamps, TVs, fridges, desks, chairs, bikes, plastic
drawer sets, sofas, stereos, tables, vacuums, housewares, etc.
Don’t forget about our sale of all these lovely items Aug 20-21 at the
Y Center, 1000 N. Main Street, Blacksburg. (9am-it's all gone!)
We’ll
need volunteers that whole week to help us prepare for the event, so be
on the lookout for the survey sign up that will become live on this
website on August 3.
Those working 4+ hours get to pre-shop. Fun, fun!

Another Alternative Service Break trip is complete!
Jan 2009, sixteen students traveled to the Dominican Republic for two weeks
and worked in the new community of Nagua. They had another successful travel experience and nothing but great things to say about the
construction work they did on a community center/school.
Welcome back folks! And thanks for your service.
