Alternative Breaks are service-learning experiences supporting alongside the community to seek a more equitable and inclusive society. Alternative Breaks trips are designed to heighten participants’ awareness of critical social issues, enhance their individual growth, and prepare them for lifelong social action.
Each weekend or weeklong trip integrates education, immersion, service, and reflection to dig deeper into the social justice trip topic such as racial justice, environment justice, housing security, healthcare access, etc. For more information and a list of our trip descriptions, visit our website and apply now! Applications are due Friday, September 22 at 10:00 am.
