Application deadline EXTENDED - Friday, 10/24 at 11:59 pm!!! Join the national movement of college students making a difference during their academic breaks. Explore a social justice issue, immerse yourself in a community, and turn your ideas into action! Alternative Breaks takes teams of students to places throughout the western United States on 1-2 week service learning trips, exploring the complexities of social issues by allowing students to work, eat, and live with people who are directly impacted by racism, poverty, and other injustices. Students prepare for trips through a 2-unit DeCal. Need based stipends of $50 are available. One of last years participants on the Arizona trip, Valeska Castaneda, led a 350 mile walk in support of immigrants rights. Solidarity in Action! https://youtube/watch?v=R7uAJz0HZL8 Trip Themes!
