Looking to spend your spring break (March 25th to April 1st) doing something meaningful and making a positive impact? Apply for Alternative Break today!
The Alternative Break program is centered on creating transformative, experiential learning experiences for students through regional, reciprocal campus-community partnerships. Alternative breaks aim to develop the capacity for students to lead for social change. Being immersed in community environments enables participants to experience, discuss, and understand social issues in a significant way. This is an opportunity to learn about yourself, challenge yourself, build community, gain leadership skills, and have fun!
Priority deadline for applications for all three trips is Thursday, December 1, 2016 and need-based Travel Grants are now available to defray the costs!
(Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all trips are filled)
Read what past Alternative Break participants have said about their experiences:
- “I am amazed, intrigued, and humbled. I will forever hope to continue to grow and open my mind in the way I did on this trip.”
- “I have formed new relationships with incredible people, have been inspired to be more independent, walked away with more knowledge about life on reservations, and a commitment to make a positive influence in my community.”
