All ASP volunteers are required to attend and participate in all of our pre-trip orientations.
To satisfy the orientation requirement, volunteers must attend all four orientation programs to learn about the Appalachian culture and local poverty as well as the “Three S’s” – safety, sensitivity and stewardship. Each of the first three sessions will be offered twice – you only need to attend one. The final orientation will only be offered once.
The 2026 dates are as follows:
-
- Orientation 1 – February 4th or February 10th
- Orientation 2 – March 18th or March 24th
- Orientation 3 – April 22rd or April 28th
- Orientation 4 – June 3th – Only one date for this orientation
