  • Framing
  • Roofing
  • Siding
  • Insulating
  • Flooring and Trim
  • Porches and Ramps

Volunteer Locations

ASP is able to build new homes in specific locations based on funding sources and maintains a goal to expand the program across our region.

  • Northeast Tennessee – New homes in the Tri-Cities area
  • Hancock County, Tennessee – This area is consistently ranked one of the most distressed counties in the state, and ASP will be focusing efforts to boost this area.

Participant Requirements

  • Minimum group size is one work crew (5-7 individuals)
  • Skilled adult volunteers preferred
  • All adults must have a completed background check
  • Groups must provide their own transportation. Each work crew needs their own vehicle.
  • Groups provide their own accommodations and meals; ASP can provide information about where previous groups have stayed.

A wonderful way to help some of the kindest people you will ever meet in this great country. Either helping by funding, or even better, serving in person. You come back a much better person.
