Alternative Spring Break is a student-run trip that dedicates spring break to a community in need. The service trip attracts students from all different backgrounds for a common cause: service to others. Traveling to a new destination each year with different needs keeps the group dynamic and diverse. Throughout the week, all participants learn to cooperate through long work days and unique living
accommodations (cabins, church basements, and more!). This life-changing trip requires all participants to leave their comfort zones in an effort to better understand and help people facing challenging circumstances. General interest meetings are held in September. The application and interview process will begin mid-September. Past trips:
