Appalachia
Service Project
(ASP)
|
The Appalachia
Service Project is a non-profit home repair
project with and for the poor of Central
Appalachia. It is offered through the
United Methodist Church but is open to all
denominations. The goal is to give senior
high youth an opportunity to put their faith
into action while making a significant
difference in the lives of Appalachian
families.
The volunteers who
go are placed into 6-member work teams
overseen by competent, faithful adults; each
work team works on the home of one family
for a week, thus getting to know them well
and understand a different culture.
Evenings are spent in discussions with
singing, group games, and usually a trip out
to a local ice cream parlor. The trip is
from Saturday to Saturday, usually in late
June or early July. |
