Naropa Alternative Breaks

Naropa Alternative Breaks Students perform short-term projects for community agencies and learn about issues such as literacy, poverty, racism, hunger, homelessness and the environment.

An service-learning trip, or alternative break, program places groups of individuals in communities to engage in community service and experiential learning during their summer, fall, winter, weekend or spring breaks. The objectives of a service-learning break program are to involve college students in community-based service projects and to give students opportunities to learn about the problems faced by members of communities with whom they otherwise may have had little or no direct contact. Being completely immersed into diverse environments enables participants to experience, discuss, and understand social and environmental issues in a significant way. The intensity of the experience increases the likelihood that participants will transfer the lessons learned on-site back to their own communities even after the service-learning break ends, serving as a springboard into lifelong active citizenship...where the community becomes a priority in an individual's life decisions.
