WorkFest & YouthFest 2016 - "Work at it With all Your Heart"

WorkFest and YouthFest, Christian Appalachian Project’s college and high school alternative spring break programs are underway. This March and April students from more than 40 colleges, universities and high schools will spend their spring break serving on home repair projects in Eastern Kentucky. Students will also have the opportunity to learn more about Appalachian culture and spend time in prayer and personal reflection. WorkFest and YouthFest will be held at two sites: Camp Andrew Jackson in Jackson County, KY and The Louis T. Foley Mission Center in Floyd County, Ky. Students will work on 20 or more projects. Theme This year's theme comes from Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart."

For information on schedule and what to bring please visit the WorkFest and YouthFest pages. Project and Volunteer Pictures Out of respect for participant privacy, we identify projects by crew color rather than by participant name.
