Alternative Breaks offers service-learning trips for students to explore a social justice issue through hands-on service supplemented with education and reflection. Students explore immigration, environmental and food justice, public health, farmworker rights, and basic needs with diverse stakeholders in California’s Central Valley, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, and Puerto Rico. As a Trip Break Leader, you share your social justice passion by facilitating a 2-unit DeCal, planning a week-long spring break trip, and collaborating with community partners. As a Director, you manage the program and support Break Leaders behind the scenes.
Community partners include the Latino Equity Advocacy & Policy Institute in the Central Valley, Project Angel Food in Los Angeles, City Slicker Farms in Oakland, Faithful Fools in San Francisco, Border Angels in San Diego, and Camp Tabonuco in Puerto Rico.
