Who We AreMOVE is Georgia Tech's umbrella organization for a variety of community service and volunteer opportunities. Our organization consists of 12 committees that address various issues and provide many service opportunities throughout the year. You can make a difference in your community with nothing more than a smile and a desire to serve - no experience necessary or required! MOVE exists to serve the community as a whole by facilitating service activities by Georgia Tech's faculty, staff, and students that will increase the participants' self worth, leadership abilities, value of diversity, and motivation to be involved in the community at large while at the same time meeting the needs of the community at large. For more information on our specific committees and to join us, click here or go to the "About Us" link above. News
