Appalachian Youth Retention and Development Project

Innovation is not Bound by Location

Explore the Possibilities

Thinking about your future should be a satisfying and enriching experience. Our mission is to help aspiring minds take their first steps into becoming leaders who can make a difference for themselves and Appalachia as a whole.

  • The most important step is simply exploring what interests you! Since beginning our journey, we have established connections with businesses in Appalachia ranging from (X) to (Y). Through visiting, shadowing, or interning you can learn valuable skills and gain insight into being a member of, or even running your own business.

  • It all begins with an idea. We want to help you turn your vision into a reality. Whether it be materials for a prototype, cost for a computer program, or other general startup costs, we want to help you take the first steps in creating your Appalachia-based business.

  • We aren’t able to operate without your generosity. Learn how you can help our cause, or learn about other volunteering or service opportunities with organizations near you.

Our Mission

We are committed to providing the people of Appalachia with the resources necessary to create a more hopeful and economically robust community for current and future generations.
