What is ASP?
"Appalachia Service Project is a home repair ministry through which volunteers and [their] staff repair homes for low-income families in rural Central Appalachia. [Their] goal is to make homes warmer, safer and drier, while offering transformational experiences for volunteers and families alike."
"Each year, ASP achieves its goals with the assistance of nearly 15,000 volunteers. The Home Repair Ministry Summer Program is especially valuable for high school youth groups and their adult advisors; and ASP also offers year-round service opportunities for college groups, family groups, individuals, and couples at [their] Housing Services Centers."
"No matter what your skill level, we invite you to come experience Appalachia Service Project for yourself!"
