Applications are now available

Applications can be turned in Jan 31 (9am) through Feb 7 (4pm) to the CSC

Travel during spring break and experience a new culture... Serving on an ASB is a unique way to offer your time and skills-- and a lot of fun!

                       This year we will be building a classroom for the                      Los Angeles community in El Salvador.

 

Quick Facts on the Trip:

 

March 23- 31, 2013 (Students can opt to travel home on the 30th)

Travel outside of the US to learn about a new culture and help provide a sustainable service project that will help the community long after we leave.

Trip cost is $1750- includes flights, in-country travel, in-country food, housing, and donation to organization/ building materials.

We have grants you can apply for to help reduce your costs- there is more information below, including the application and due dates.

There are plenty of concerns when traveling abroad in a developing nation, but we take many safety precautions before and during the trip. Please visit the participant info page (link at the top of this page) under "Travel Precautions" to see the measures we take to ensure a very safe experience abroad.

Student Leaders:

Student Leaders will plan and lead each trip alongside the Coordinator for Community Service and a campus pastor. The Alternative Break Student Leaders act as a liaison to the host site, and coordinate both pre- and post-break activities.  You and your co-leader will coordinate aspects of the trip including reflection activities and nighttime activities if applicable. You may also be requested to assist with other duties. You will have staff supervisors (CSC Coordinator and Campus Pastor) who will support you along the way and assist as needed. Student Leaders will receive a discount on the trip and are still eligible to apply for a grant.
