The YMCA at Virginia Tech and New River Valley Timebank presents The Y Public Living Room on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
Join us in our next Public Living Room! A "no agenda" space to relax, share, laugh and look out for each other.
Looking for a warm, welcoming space to connect? Come relax, share stories, and meet new friends in our Public Living Room, a cozy community spot for conversation and belonging.
Why come?
• Build connections and reduce isolation
• Enjoy a stress-free, inclusive environment
• Spark ideas and community engagement
Everyone is welcome, just bring yourself.
The New River Valley TimeBank is a project of New River Valley Home, a non-profit that works to foster vibrant, lifespan-friendly communities by connecting people, resources and organizations. It has been developed and supported through the efforts of the NRV Livability Initiative and the NRV Aging in Place Leadership Team.
A TimeBank helps to connect people to exchange skills and services, using time rather than dollars. When a member provides one hour of service for someone, they earn one Time Credit. They can then spend this Time Credit by receiving an hour of service from someone else. The possibilities for exchange are endless and may include home repair, animal care, yard work, cooking lessons, computer instruction, etc.
All services are valued equally, and all members are respected for what they have to offer. It is an old idea made new—the idea that our community is stronger when neighbors make a practice of helping each other.
