Blacksburg Polyamory - This group is for people who question or reject the cultural presumption of monogamy (or, in some places, of polygamy) in favor of free and informed choice of relationship structure and transparency among partners. We welcome people of any identity, orientation and relationship status or preference. Glade Church is a member of the United Church of Christ and the Alliance of Baptists. We are an open and affirming community where all are welcome.
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of New River Valley - "As a UU congregation we are committed to 'the inherent worth and dignity of every individual'- our First Principle. As members of society we know that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning individuals are often unwelcome in other churches."
NRV PFLAG - PFLAG-NRV is a local support, education and advocacy organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) people, their families, friends and allies.

Blacksburg Young Professionals
"Young Professionals (YPs) are anyone in their 20’s and 30’s working, living and playing in Blacksburg. The YP scene in this area is unique. Maybe you're a recent college grad starting your career at one of our up-and-coming technology companies and are adjusting to the non-student life. Maybe you've been here a while and are looking to connect with other young families and advance your career. Whatever your situation, we strive to create a unified community of young professionals and become an advocate of this area's future leaders. We round out the YP experience by focusing on the Social, Professional, and Economic Impact of ensuring that YPs have the tools to make and enjoy Blacksburg being their home."
