Hands and Feet of Asheville is an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization rooted in the Presbyterian Church (USA) that pairs young adults (21-29) with working experiences at local Western North Carolina non-profit partners doing vital work in our community. This transformative experience runs from mid-August through mid-May and is designed to walk alongside you during a time of change and uncertainty, helping you discern in your vocational and spiritual journeys.
