About This Cause

The Appalachian Experience (APEX) is an Ignatian, alternative spring break program focused on service, immersion, and learning about Appalachian history and culture. Participants prepare before Spring Break, then spend a week serving in Appalachia and reflect on their experiences afterward. Since 2019, APEX costs have risen due to transportation, food, and other expenses, with the cost for 2026 estimated at $800 per participant. We hope APEX alumni and friends will help current students access this impactful experience.
