The Appalachia Service Project is an organization that works to repair and replace homes for low-income families in rural Central Appalachia. They provide critical repairs to raise homes out of substandard condition, thus helping residents avert housing insecurity and potential homelessness.

For my Eagle Scout Project, I chose to support the Upward Bound House, an organization dedicated to ending homelessness for families with children, by offering housing, support services, and advocacy. I first learned about the organization while volunteering with a fellow Scout to build and install a deck at their local urban farm. To further enhance the space, I decided to add three picnic tables, creating seating for comfort and community engagement. The area is currently used for events such as summer camps and charity fundraisers, and it is primarily used by children.
