Alternative Spring Breaks was founded in March of 1987 when seven students traveled to Boone, North Carolina to work with a variety of human services organizations during Spring Break. The program has been expanding ever since in order to accommodate increasing student interest. Each year, hundreds of volunteers spend Spring Break doing work through the Community Service Center’s Alternative Spring Breaks program. The goal of ASB is to provide the student body with a unique and memorable service opportunity as a substitute to the conventional spring break. ASB trips promote community service, develop leadership skills, and create strong bonds among participants. The trips allow volunteers to visit other parts of the country and learn about various social issues first-hand. ASB helps students improve the world around them while they develop leadership skills and inspire others to do the same.
