Alternative Break
VISION
Alternative Break trips are affordable, available, and accessible for every SLCC student who wants to be immersed in an intensive volunteer and travel experience. All participants come home inspired and empowered to continue making a difference.
MISSION
Alternative Break is a drug and alcohol free volunteer immersion program. Through leadership, transformative action, education, and critical reflection, participants address important social issues while traveling and exploring the culture and history of the area in which they serve.
Alternative Break is a national program where colleges and universities organize drug and alcohol-free trips for students that want to travel during their fall or spring breaks. Since 1999, the Thayne Center has organized over 25 AB trips. Participants have traveled to 12 states, including New York, Hawaii, Colorado, and Washington. Alternative Break at SLCC challenges students to learn about social issues, such as poverty and homelessness, and empowers them to personally make a difference through volunteering.
