The Appalachia CARES program is a school and community-based service-learning program that promotes COMMUNITY, ACTION, RESPONSIBILITY, EDUCATION, and SERVICE as program cornerstones.
Appalachia CARES engages its members in direct service with rural youth and community volunteers in middle and east Tennessee counties in partnership with community-based organizations and local schools.
The overall goal of the program is to impact participants through service learning to encourage participants to become civically engaged, inspired, and motivated to use their own skills, knowledge, and education to make a positive contribution to their communities regardless of their talents or deficits.
