Alternative Breaks at UC Berkeley Public Service Center http://publicservice.berkeley.edu/alternativebreaks

Since its founding in 2001, Alternative Breaks has been a service-learning program that offers students opportunities to connect to the greater community through meaningful service, education, and reflection during their academic breaks. Many participants return from their experiences with greater insight on a particular social justice issue and a deeper understanding on what it means to get invol

ved in the community. This year, Alternative Breaks offers ten trips to different locations during the spring break, covering issues such as environmental justice, health care, immigration, and homelessness. These student-led trips travel to different locations in California and throughout the Western United States to further understanding of the community and to bring knowledge gained on-site back to the Berkeley community. Students not only participate in a week-long service trip, but also a spring DeCal course to further explore various topics revolving around each social justice issue and engage in reflection both pre- and post-trip.
