JOIN US! If you are interested in direct service to people in need in Appalachia, consider the many volunteer opportunities and options available with CAP. For more than 50 years, tens of thousands of volunteers have been called to the mountains to serve. There are a variety of short-term and long-term possibilities for individuals, groups, churches, and schools to volunteer with CAP. LONG-TERM VOLUNTEERING Long-term volunteers are the foundation of CAP’s Volunteer Program. Making a commitment of one year, our volunteers address issues such as education, poverty, hunger, substandard housing, and rural isolation while living in intentional community and making a commitment to personal reflection. LONG-TERM VOLUNTEERING AT A GLANCE • Our volunteer program is interdenominational and intergenerational. • Volunteers come from all ages (18+), faith traditions, and backgrounds. • Living and serving in Eastern Kentucky provides a unique experience of Appalachian culture and rural poverty in the U.S. • Volunteers are supported and highly valued in their service by staff, many of whom are former volunteers. • Professional development opportunities are available for volunteers seeking to explore, cultivate, and expand their career skills while serving.
