Alternative Service Breaks

Registration for ASB 2023 is LIVE!

Alternative Service Breaks (ASB) is a weeklong service opportunity where students engage with different communities throughout the country over spring break. 

By reconnecting with our community partners, ASB seeks to foster genuine connections between individuals and the community through meaningful service, emphasizing inclusivity, intentionality, empathy, cultural humility, and a deeper understanding of social justice. Volunteers will be able to explore this by doing service in a variety of focus areas including:

  • Animal Rights
  • Environmental Conservation
  • Health & Disabilities
  • Housing & Homelessness
  • Youth & Education

This year we plan to travel to 10 different locations across the United States, from rural Macon, Georgia to New Orleans, Louisiana. Each location offers a unique opportunity to learn in depth about the ways communities have historically and currently combat these inequities.
