Women's Center at Virginia Tech

Program Spotlight: Remember what it was like to be in middle school? Yeah, so do we. That’s why we’re such big fans of AWARE, a Women’s Center program that connects undergraduate mentors with local middle schoolers for listening, guidance, and real talk. Your donation will help youth in our community – and the VT women who mentor them – to thrive! We appreciate your support!

Resources for Working Parents

It is now easy to submit a request directly to join the working parents listserv. Approvals generally happen within 2 business days. There is also a working parents Facebook page, with lots of information, resources, and updates. Connecting with other working parents makes everything just a little bit easier!

Initiatives to support you

As a unit of the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, the Women's Center functions in a number of areas.
