Orientations

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 2025 dates are as follows:

    • Orientation 1 – February 5th and February 11th
    • Orientation 2 – March 19th and March 25th
    • Orientation 3 – April 23rd and April 29th
    • Orientation 4 – June 4th – Only one date for this orientation
