Description

Come join GW Alternative Breaks for our annual fundraising event! Alternative Breaks are completely student led and funded community service-learning trips during the university's spring break. Participants travel locally, nationally and internationally in teams of 10 to engage in active service and gain new perspectives on social issues. Our student-led program features 3 trips that provide students the opportunity to become active citizen leaders while building lasting connections with people from various communities through a mutually-beneficial experience. Each trip has its own unique service area and pre-trip education meetings allow students to become informed about the community and issue area they will be working with. The mission of the GW Alternative Breaks Program is to empower and challenge all students involved to understand their relationship with the global community through direct service, education and reflection while encouraging personal growth, social awareness and active citizenship. The GW Alternative Breaks program is a nonprofit organization housed under the Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service at the George Washington University. Our program offers 12 community service trips to both domestic and international locations. Each trip has its own unique service area, from sustainability to education to community development. The pre-trip education component allows for GW students to become informed about the community ad issue area they will be working with. Most trips feature service activities during the day, and group bonding and cultural activities in the evenings. GW Alternative Breaks offers students the opportunity to be active citizens and leaders, while building lasting connections with people from various communities through a mutually-beneficial experience.
