Project Request
The Big Event is Virginia Tech's largest service event with 6,145 student volunteers completing 908 community service projects in 2010. The Big Event gives students a way to give back to our community and show appreciation to ALL non-student residents and organizations of Blacksburg, Christiansburg, and the New River Valley by completing volunteer projects FREE of charge. On April 9, 2011, we hope to have 8,000 students complete over 1,100 service projects. We need your help to reach our goal! Examples of previous projects include general yard work, painting fences, washing windows, cleaning, and minor repairs of general residences, churches, and other community locations. Projects should last no longer than 4 hours and may not involve power tools. If needed, tools can be provided by The Big Event.
Non-Student residents of Montgomery County, please fill out the information below if you wish to request a project. After requesting a project, a Big Event committee member will contact you regarding details of your project including tools requested and setting up a day for someone to inspect your project site prior to the event on April 9th.
If someone has not contacted you within a few weeks, please be patient as we are expecting 1,100 projects similar to yours this year.
