The GROW Central Appalachia Program (CAP) engages the passionate environmentalists who support the Sludge Hub's efforts to mitigate the legacy impacts of the departed coal industry. Externs participating in the GROW CAP typically eat, sleep, and work directly upon abandoned mine sites. The program includes components of education, manual labor, and technical skills.
