WorkFest and YouthFest, Christian Appalachian Project’s college and high school alternative spring break programs are underway. This March and April students from more than 40 colleges, universities and high schools will spend their spring break serving on home repair projects in Eastern Kentucky. Students will also have the opportunity to learn more about Appalachian culture and spend time in prayer and personal reflection. WorkFest and YouthFest will be held at two sites: Camp Andrew Jackson in Jackson County, KY and The Louis T. Foley Mission Center in Floyd County, Ky. Students will work on 20 or more projects. Theme This year's theme comes from Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart."
