Hands and Feet of Asheville is an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization rooted in the traditions of the Presbyterian Church (USA) while cultivating an interfaith, ecumenical approach. HFA pairs young adults (ages 21-29) with working experiences at local Western North Carolina non-profit partners making vital change in our community. This transformative experience is designed to walk alongside you during a time of change and uncertainty, helping you discern in your vocational and spiritual journeys. Becoming a Hands and Feet Program Fellow requires a willingness to engage in anti-racist and compassionate social justice, learning more about what living a life of service means for you. As a Fellow, you will explore what it looks like to live your values in the world, challenging racism, inequality, and environmental degradation, while sustaining your spirit and developing meaningful relationships. This is a program of personal, professional, and spiritual growth; as such, we welcome young adults grounded in any faith tradition, including no faith tradition, to explore and discern their individual calling, as they create an intentional community with one another.

The 2025-2026 service year will place a particular emphasis on service learning in the context of disaster relief. Community Days will draw on partner organizations and community members' lived experiences from Hurricane Helene as well as learning from disaster case studies so Fellows can build leadership tools to face the 1-5 year recovery stage together.
