Make a difference together
One voice can make a difference. A passel of folks can make change. Our history tells us that time and time again. Start with what matters to you. We’ll help you find a way to act.
Why To Get Involved
Appalachians have always worked together. We built homes, shucked corn, raised barns, shared joy and grief, and helped raise one another’s children. You don't have to know what kind of action to take yet. Start with the worry that brought you here. We’ll help you find the next step.
Start With What Brought You Here
Worried about something changing in your community? Start there. Learn what is happening, why it matters, and what you can do next.
Spread the word
Change grows when people start talking. Share clear information with family, neighbors, and your community. Help the word travel.
Carry Something Forward
Family stories, old photographs, letters, recipes, and memories help carry Appalachian history forward. Share what your family remembers and help preserve it.
Volunteer with us
Got time, knowledge, or a skill you can share? Tell us what you can do and what interests you. We’ll help connect you with work that fits.
