More about Alternative Breaks

What is an Alternative Break?

An alternative break is a trip where a group of college students (usually 10-12 per trip) engage in an immersive community service experience.  Alternative breaks may occur during students’ fall, winter, weekend, or summer school breaks. Alternative breaks are also drug and alcohol-free experiences, with a heavy emphasis on group and individual reflection.
