Alternative Breaks is an opportunity for students to participate in a service-learning experience during their winter, spring and weekend breaks. Participants travel to communities around the country where they work with local residents and nonprofits to address a pressing social issue. Teams will perform a variety of tasks throughout their trips that range from cleaning, building, and working directly with the clients.
Breaks are open to K-State graduate, undergraduate and international students. Students who want to join the spring break teams should apply by Feb. 2. Application will be followed by a laid back interview and then placement on a team. Participants will be required to attend three pre-trip meetings and one post-trip meeting.
