Alternative Breaks
Alternative Breaks is an opportunity for students to participate in an intense service experience during their spring & winter breaks and now weekend breaks too. Participants travel to communities around the country where they work with local residents to address a pressing social issue. Breaks are open to K-State graduate, undergraduate and International students.
May Break: This is great opportunity to learn more about Native American culture and help an underserved population. Teams will work on various projects during the week which may include assisting at risk youth, as well as assisting in building projects within the community. The team will also have the opportunity to engage with community members in the evening, eat traditional Cherokee meals, tour the cultural heritage center, and listen to various Cherokee leaders speak on topics affecting their nation. Participant application due Feb 28th. | Site Leader application due Feb 10th.
