Seasonal/Skilled Volunteers | Christian Appalachian Project

Skilled and Seasonal Volunteers

Skilled and Seasonal Volunteers are an integral part of our volunteer program. Construction workers are used for tasks that need extra finesse or to lead a worksite, nurses dispense vital medications to summer campers, and cooks ensure that our mission groups and alternative spring break students have the sustenance they need to complete physically demanding worksite tasks. If you have a heart to serve, and a week or more available, we’re interested in hearing from you. We hope you can join us!
