The success of Y-TOSS relies heavily on a substantial amount of work and support. To address this, we are actively engaging with local organizations and businesses to promote the event and recruit volunteers. Y-TOSS is a YMCA Program led by Y Student Program Leaders Vivian Peregrino, Abby Touchstone, Sydney Kehl and Ellie Hepp. Our team needs YOU to volunteer in order to make the event as successful as possible. Volunteer shifts last for 2 hours. During the shift volunteers will be assigned to a specific POD and responsible for grouping donated items within the POD and keeping the area organized while also encouraging students and families to donate the items instead of trashing them. It’s a great volunteer opportunity for individuals or groups to help with this huge sustainability initiative. The YMCA at Virginia Tech coordinates Y-TOSS, one of the largest sustainability initiatives on campus. Each year, the program collects gently-used items from the dorms during the student move-out days. The items are then made available to incoming students during the fall move-in sale at the Lancaster House across from the Virginia Tech campus. ALL the profits support the YMCA Student Programs.
