Appalachia Service Project is a Christian nonprofit that mobilizes volunteers to repair homes for low-income families in Central Appalachia, welcoming participants from across the United States. It offers a structured service opportunity that draws volunteers to rural communities to address housing needs with an emphasis on care, sensitivity, and relationship-building. Founded in 1969, the program has long connected volunteers with local families to improve homes and living conditions. Based in Johnson City, Tennessee, ASP operates as a mid-sized organization within the nonprofit housing and community service sector. It provides a framework that fosters transformational experiences for volunteers, the families served, and staff, aiming to break down cultural, social, and economic barriers through direct housing work. Annually, about 17,000 volunteers participate, reflecting the scope of its ongoing mission.
