CCM Conway is joining up with CCM's from across the state to head to Glenmary Group Volunteer program in Rutledge, Tennessee on Monday, May 11th – Saturday, May 16th.

Thankfully the diocese will cover the cost of our accommodations and the materials for the week. However, each CCM is responsible for travel and any meals during travel. CCM Conway will hold a fundraiser to help keep student fees low. We do ask students to pay a $50 NONREFUNDABLE deposit to secure their spot once the team is selected.

Since 1971, the Glenmary Group Volunteer Program has welcomed over 20,000 volunteers from across the United States to the home missions for a week of missionary service. The goal of the program is to connect young people with God, help them find Christ in others, and teach them to serve others first and put themselves second. While service is the foundation of the program, it also strives to develop community and to deepen faith through the context of shared experiences. Volunteers come not only to serve but also to learn about the rich culture and traditions present in the Appalachian regions where they serve. It aims to broaden volunteers' understanding of the causes of poverty, oppression and injustice—and how their life choices can impact these issues. Today, the program site is located on Joppa Mountain in Grainger County, Tenn., which has been fondly nicknamed "Toppa Joppa."
