Types of Projects

Mountain T.O.P. exists to eliminate substandard housing in our community by completing vital home repairs. Our typical projects create safer, healthier, and more accessible living environments for homeowners. Our service area has a higher-than-average proportion of older adults, which means there is a high demand for repairs that help our neighbors age in place.

Spiritual Life Programming

Mountain T.O.P. is intentional about connecting what we do with why we do it. While Mountain T.O.P. is a faith-based organization, faith is not a requirement for participation. We welcome faith-based and non-faith-based groups to serve with us!

Groups can request staff-led spiritual programming during their service experience. This can include:

• Morning devotions before breakfast

• Mid-day devotionals on the worksite

• Sharing and worship after dinner

We believe in the dignity of all people and honor that our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds. We are an inclusive space for all people. Mountain T.O.P. is intentional about creating reflective and interactive spaces for volunteers to process their service experiences in a theological light.

If your group is interested in having these elements added to your service experience, please let us know when making a reservation.

Participant Requirements

No matter the ages of your participants, Mountain T.O.P. would love to host your group. From middle schoolers to college students to older adults, all are welcome. Our typical work team size is 5-9 people.

• All volunteers 18+ must have a background check

• At least 1 vehicle per 7 people

• For groups with youth, we prefer at least 2 adults (21+) per work team

We do our best to match projects with the skill level and age of our volunteers, considering our most urgent homeowner needs.

What are the sleeping accommodations like?

Participants stay in cabins on site. These cabins have 10 - 14 rooms with either two sets of bunk beds or two twin beds. There are bathrooms and a common area in each cabin, along with a refrigerator and beautiful porch to enjoy. Participants are responsible for providing their own bedding and towels. During check-in, groups will either be given a cabin or number of rooms to be used by their group. It is up to them to decide how specific rooms are assigned. 

I don’t have any construction experience. Is this a good place for me?

Absolutely! This is why we create Ministry Production Teams (MPTs) so those with little to no skill can be taught by those who do. We see that there are four needs that need to be addressed: physical, social, emotional, and spiritual. While the physical needs will be met through the home repair work, we highly emphasize building relationships with the families. Taking time to get to know the family is important. Additionally, there are always small tasks to help with, including site clean up and safety coordination.

How are meals provided?

Breakfast and dinner are hot meals provided in our Dining Hall, served family style. A cooler lunch will be prepared for you to bring to the work site and to share with the family you are working with. All meals from Sunday dinner to Friday breakfast are provided. Our kitchen staff can accommodate dietary needs and allergies. We ask that if you have dietary lifestyle choices that you assist our kitchen staff by providing some of your own food. Please contact Jacey with further questions regarding meals.

Do you have wi-fi?

Yes, we do! The signal might not always be reliable in the cabin area, but is available in the Dining Hall, Meeting Side, and Staff Lodge.
