Are You Called To The Volunteer Life?

Christian Appalachian Project invites individuals and groups to join our mission in Eastern Kentucky. Over the past 50 years, tens of thousands of volunteers have served with CAP from home or come to Kentucky to serve for a week, a summer, or a year. Who volunteers for CAP? Our volunteers are youth, recent graduates, retirees, and everyone in between. Whatever your desired commitment, there is a way for you to make an impact. God continues to call committed individuals to serve Appalachia and we hope you will answer that call.

There are a number of ways you can serve with us: “I want to volunteer, but I can’t come to Kentucky…”

At-Home Volunteer Projects

You can make an impact in Appalachia without ever leaving your hometown through our at-home volunteer projects. Collect food, clothing, school supplies, hygiene items, Christmas gifts, or gardening items and we’ll distribute them to people in need.

“I want to volunteer occasionally and I have flexible schedule…”

Disaster Relief

CAP responds to disasters in Kentucky and the surrounding Appalachian states. Join our on-call email list to be alerted when we’re forming a response team.

“I want to volunteer for a week…”

Mission Trips

We welcome church, school, business, civic, and family groups of all sizes to complete home repair projects for families in need. Group season is March – October and participants must be age 14 or older. Ask us about our alternative spring break trips for college and high school students!

“I have a few weeks/months available…”

Short-Term

If you have between 3 weeks and 10 months to give, we need you as a short-term volunteer. Volunteers welcome nearly year-round. Carpenters and cooks especially needed in March and April.

Summer Camp

You can make a difference in the lives of children in need by volunteering as a camp counselor, lifeguard, nurse, cook, or office aide. Volunteers needed to serve three or more weeks in June and July. One-week opportunities available for medical personnel.

“I am ready to make a year-long commitment to CAP…”

Long-Term

Long-term volunteers are the backbone of CAP’s Volunteer Program, making a commitment of one year to CAP’s mission. These volunteers serve across several CAP programs, making an impact in the areas of hunger and poverty relief, education, and substandard housing.

AmeriCorps VISTA

AmeriCorps VISTAs serve for one year in CAP’s Philanthropy Department, helping CAP to increase its capacity through social media, digital marketing, and foundation research.
