Alternative Breaks are service-learning experiences that work alongside and support communities in order to seek a more equitable and inclusive society. Alternative Break programs are designed to heighten participants’ awareness of critical social issues, enhance their individual growth, and prepare them for lifelong social action.
Each program integrates education, immersion, service, and reflection in order to dig deeper into the social justice program topic, such as racial justice, environmental justice, housing security, healthcare access, etc. For more information and a list of our program descriptions, visit our website and apply now!
