Alternative Spring Break
March 8, 2014 - March 16, 2014
Alternative Spring Break is a departmental program sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs that provides service opportunities for students who successfully apply for participation at a variety of sites across the eastern United States.
Our ASB Mission
Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a week-long, substance-free program held in March that gives students the chance to gain personal and professional growth through direct volunteer experience and place-based learning.
Spring Breakers Will:
• Provide direct assistance to organizations addressing a variety of forms of social, economic, and environmental injustice
• Develop perspectives on civic engagement, place-based learning, diversity, and activism through new and challenging environments
• Develop a deeper, more personal understanding of community service through individual and group reflection
• Form new and lasting friendships through their team-based participation in ASB
