Volunteer Montgomery

Volunteer opportunities include assisting area non-profit organizations, visiting nursing homes, bake sales and specialized events throughout the year.

Volunteer time commitment is up to each individual and their availability. Volunteers must be willing to serve without compensation.  Minors (under 18 years of age) must have a parent/guardian accompany them on all Volunteer Montgomery activities. Parent/guardian must also complete a Volunteer Enrollment Application.

We do not facilitate court-ordered community service at this time.

Our 2026 Scholarship is now open! Click here for more information.

Reporting Hours

It has been brought to our attention lately that many of our volunteers don’t report all of your hours because you don’t want to boast or brag about the service you provide. Volunteer Montgomery thrives and EXISTS because of your service hours to our community! Please remember that we are generously funded by the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors because of all of the reports we send about projects and hours that our volunteers provide each year. If you have any questions about how to report your hours each month, please contact a member of our team at volunteermontgomery@montgomerycountyva.gov! 

You can submit volunteer hours by mail, email or by visiting https://forms.montva.com/Forms/volunteer-hours. If you use this link, your volunteer time will be emailed to staff. 

Please let us know if you would like a paper copy or a fillable form to save to your tablet or PC.

Supplies for Seniors Event- January 2026

The project took place with the support of 50 helpers at the Christiansburg Recreation Center on January 21^st and the supplies will be delivered to everyone by the first week of February. As a result, 300 homebound seniors identified by the New River Valley Agency on Aging, Montgomery County Department of Social Services, and the Virginia Veteran and Family Support program will receive approximately $60 worth of basic household supplies and personal care products. 

 We want to express our appreciation to all of the volunteers who worked tirelessly moving supplies, sorting, and bagging.  We would also like to thank Christiansburg Parks and Recreation and employees of Montgomery County General Services for their partnership and support of this project.

Happy New Year!  Current reports show that through November of 2025 our 358 active volunteers provided 24,561 hours of their time and expertise to over 60 nonprofit organizations and health care facilities that we serve in Montgomery County.  According to the Independent Sector, the current national hourly value of volunteer service is $34.79. Therefore, $854,477 worth of volunteer service was provided to our service area.  Needless to say, our volunteers continue to strengthen our community and serve others in need!
