Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) has an immediate need for long-term and short-term volunteers to serve as caseworkers in CAP's Elderly Services program.

One week. Lasting Change.

Christian Appalachian Project's home repair programs are often overwhelmed. Substandard housing is a persistent challenge in parts of Eastern Kentucky, and we have lengthy waiting lists of homeowners needing new windows, roofs, flooring, siding, insulation, and other repairs to help make their homes warm, safe, and dry. With the help of mission groups from across the country, we are able to help more families more quickly.

We have a need for short-term volunteers to serve three weeks or longer, October-December. Short-term volunteers receive room and board and live in intentional community with other short-term and long-term volunteers. Apply today to join us this fall.

Current short-term volunteer needs: 

Mission Teams make a lasting impact on the lives of families in need.

Christian Appalachian Project is now accepting applications for our January 2015 orientation class. Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received, so apply early for the greatest choice of service placements. We will also review applications from candidates desiring a October - November start date on a case-by-case basis.

If you feel called to serve God by serving people in need in Appalachia, there's still time to join Christian Appalachian Project as a short-term or long-term (one year) volunteer. We will be accepting Summer Camp and short-term applications throughout the summer, and will be accepting long-term applications until July 1. Read on to learn more about our available positions.

Here at Christian Appalachian Project, we're thinking about warm weather, sunshine, and Summer Camp 2014. This year we look forward to welcoming hundreds of children to our two recreational camps serving children from low-income families. At camp, children and youth ages 6-16 enjoy activities such as swimming, canoeing, hiking, fishing, skits, talent nights, field games, camping, and more. At a price of $10/week, our camps provide an awesome summer experience that any family can afford.
