Why should I get involved?
By volunteering you help protect America's caves for future generations.
If you were to ask some of our volunteers why they got involved, each would have their own list of reasons.
Our volunteers are as unique as the environments they are working to protect. Cavers, environmentalists, professionals, community leaders, educators and students are just a few of the different types of people that volunteer. Ranging in age, they span throughout the U.S. and foreign countries. Each volunteer is an integral component of our volunteer network.
Volunteer Projects Include:
Cave Gating
Cave Restoration
Sinkhole Clean-ups
Projects like these are held throughout the U.S. Depending on the nature of the event, opportunities to volunteer are available year-round.
Additional volunteer opportunities exist at the American Cave Museum, including:
American Cave Museum Visitor Services
Hidden River Cave Maintenance
Getting involved is easy! Just ask us how.
Or, you can join the ACCA and become part of the foundation for everything we do. A strong membership not only helps provide support to the association, it proves that conservation is an important issue.

Volunteers Clean Up Civil War Penitentiary: The American Cave Conservation
Association (ACCA) hosted an April 21 Earth Day event in Hart County, Kentucky.
Known locally as Penitentiary Hollow, this remote sinkhole had been used as a
garbage dump by homesteaders. Volunteers from Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee are
pictured at the cleanup site from which two trailers of refuse were removed. Central
Kentucky PRIDE, Hart County Solid Waste, Western Kentucky University, and
Munfordville Pizza Hut collaborated with ACCA on this important conservation project.
Information about upcoming community projects is available by calling the American
Cave Museum at 786-1466.
