Center Information

Sleeping Quarters: Volunteers will be split between dorm buildings and upper apartments around campus. We will also have the option of partitioning off the gym during peak weeks. There will be a mixture of bunk sleeping and needing an air mattress/cot. It’s best to plan to bring air mattresses, but the staff will be in touch to confirm what groups should bring.

Cafeteria/Kitchens: We will utilize the dining building on campus.

Showers: Bathrooms and showers are available on each floor of the dorm buildings.

Recreation Space: There is plenty of outdoor space on the school campus. The half of the gym under the chapel that volunteers are not sleeping in will also be available.

Closest Medical Facility: Kentucky River Medical Center, 540 Jett Dr. Jackson, KY 41339
