Help Us Say Yes

Your generosity makes it possible for us to say yes—again and again, to the moments that matter most.

Yes, when a child needs a healthy meal after school.
Yes, when a newcomer is searching for guidance, connection, and a place to belong.
Yes, to safe, welcoming spaces where kids can learn, play, and grow.
Yes, to young people discovering their potential and stepping into leadership.

And because of you, we can say even more:

• Yes to free STEM programs that spark curiosity and confidence.
• Yes to arts, music, and dance that nurture creativity and self-expression.
• Yes to formal wear closets that help teens feel confident for milestones like prom.
• Yes to community events and shared spaces that bring neighbors together.
• Yes to hands-on opportunities for students and volunteers to serve, lead, and make a difference.

Every “yes” begins with someone like you.

Behind each program is a story—of a young person discovering their voice, a family finding support, or a community growing stronger together.

Why Your Gift Matters

Your donation is more than support—it is action.

It opens doors, removes barriers, and creates opportunities where they might not exist otherwise. When you give, you are helping transform everyday moments into lasting impact.

• Accessible programs for youth and families
• Safe, inclusive environments where everyone is welcome
• Resources that empower people to grow, connect, and thrive
• Partnerships that expand reach and strengthen community

Your gift doesn’t just sustain programs—it powers possibility.

Yesterday's YMCA at Virginia Tech

For 150 years, the YMCA at Virginia Tech has been a rock and a haven for Virginia Tech and the NRV community. The local nonprofit built the first student center on campus using Hokie Stone in 1899. It reminds us of the Y’s enduring legacy as a pillar of student support and community engagement. 

In the 1970s, the Y at VT expanded its outreach programming beyond campus to focus on social inequity, environmental stewardship, and student leadership development. 

Today's YMCA at Virginia Tech

Just like in 1873, today’s Y is fueled by dedicated student leaders and community volunteers who want to make a difference—and by generous gifts from supporters like you. We’re grateful to offer a range of programs that change lives every single day.
