The ASP Experience

Appalachia Service Project provides one of the most rewarding structured service opportunities in the nation — bringing thousands of volunteers from around the country to Central Appalachia to repair and replace homes for low-income families.

Since 1969, we’ve made homes warmer, safer, and drier for families and provided transformational service experiences for volunteers.
