The Institutional Advancement team continues to make a concerted effort to increase community engagement throughout our service region, and our success is contingent upon support from the entire New River CTC family. We have several upcoming opportunities to volunteer and support the College and the communities we serve. It is exciting to know that everyone you encounter may be a future student at New River. I hope you will consider stepping away from your daily duties and help put our best foot forward as we paint our nine-county service area blue and green!

We will need several volunteers outside of the College's traditional operating hours, but if you are interested in helping during your regular workday, you will first need to seek approval from your immediate supervisor. Once you receive approval from your supervisor, please let Mr. Joshua Combs, mcombs@newriver.edu, ext. 6705 know the days/hours you will be available to assist with staffing. As a reminder, you are required to complete your normal workday of 7.5 hours, whether at the event or your normal work location. The administration encourages participation and welcomes supervisors to “flex” work schedules to assist with meeting the needs of the college and the event schedule.
