Registration for Spring 2026 Alternative Breaks Closing Soon!
Instead of a typical week off, you’ll join a group of passionate students traveling to communities across the East Coast to work on important social issues, from food security to housing insecurity, public health to environmental justice.
Why Alternative Breaks?
It’s life-changing. You’ll see new places, meet inspiring people, and leave an impact that matters.
It’s unforgettable. From road trip playlists to late-night reflections with your team, you’ll come back with stories and friendships that last.
It’s meaningful. If you love volunteering and service, this is your chance to dive in deeper and be part of something bigger than yourself.
