Alternative Break trips are centered on social issues and are service-learning experiences. The trips allow students to connect with different communities while working to create positive, sustainable change. These experiences are immersive and participants say they build lasting relationships with the other students on the trip.

Participants will work directly with various community organizations dedicated to restoring and aiding the New Orleans community.

We challenge you to get up and give back at this year's Trash Bash! Groups, families and individuals can volunteer. Just register on their website, select location 5 (Beach Street), let us know you are going and then meet up at 7 a.m. in the Student Engagement Suite.
