Alternative Service Break Trips

The Alternative Service Break (ASB) trip program is a unique service-learning experience in which students engage in direct service to a community, while being immersed in the culture and customs of that community. Teams are led by student team leaders and accompanied by faculty advisors. Throughout the trip, team members participate in a variety of cultural, educational, recreational and reflective activities to enhance their service experience.

Students are required to attend an information session prior to applying for the program. You will receive information on each trip, costs, fund-raising, and service-learning components. If you are unable to attend one of the 3 listed information sessions, please contact the office (515-9248).
