Thank you for your interest in advising a 2018-2019 Alternative Spring Break (ASB) trip! For many years our alternative break program has been providing transformation experiences for students to give back to communities around the country. ASB combines education, strong direct service, and thoughtful reflection to create an immersive experience for students to grown through their engagement. Though our experiences are student-led, faculty and staff advisors add an important perspective to the student experience. Below is more information about the the responsibilities and application process for trip advisors.

Alternative Spring Break (ASB) is a week-long service trip where participants volunteer in an area of the country focusing on a community identified need.

This year we are planning three trips focused on the following identified community needs: Hurricane Relief, Animal Welfare, and Food Insecurity/Sustainability.
