“Despite not being able to lead the Magis Peru immersion experience given the coronavirus pandemic, serving as an ABP Leader was still a highlight of my time at Georgetown. After stepping in to lead Spring Break in Appalachia: Education and Economic Justice, I was able to meet the most incredible group of Hoyas that I would have otherwise never known. Together, we closely engaged with wonderful community partners, came to better understand the issues facing rural areas, and helped each other to process a trying time in history. As an ABP Leader, you can truly make good on the Jesuit value of “people for others” and assist your peers in gathering the knowledge and tools to benefit the common good in their own communities, near and far.” - Will Linde

Priority deadline is THIS WEDNESDAY by 11:59pm for ABP Immersion Leader applications! bit.ly/GUABP

“ABP has been one of the best and most formative parts of my time at Georgetown. It’s a truly unique opportunity to learn about justice issues in a strikingly deep and personal way. ABP trips push you to reflect and have the power to challenge and embolden your world. Plus, you get to do it all with some of the coolest people you’ll be able to call your friends. My favorite part of being an ABP leader was meeting incredible people, and watching my vision of the trip come to life.” - Tina Yin

"Being an ABP leader for the Magis KBI trip has been one of the most rewarding parts of my Georgetown experience. It has given me the unparalleled opportunity to develop and hone my leadership skills through the planning and ex*****on of an immersion experience that brings together a diverse body of participants. I have also been able to directly make an impact on a social justice issue that I am deeply passionate about, namely international migration. This experience is definitely worth it, and I encourage all to apply!" - Aditi Mittal

About WJDC:

Worker Justice D.C. aims to explore the intersection of working-class identity, a changing economy, and global labor in the context of Washington, D.C. By taking a lens focused on US immigration, the emergence of the gig economy, emotional labor, and other uncompensated and unrecognized labor, we will begin to understand the issues that impact workers in DC. How does this lens affect the way we address access to housing and transportation, lack of dignified working conditions, unfair wages, prison labor, and discriminatory immigration and policing policies? We will then ask ourselves how workers, unions, community organizers, policy makers, and government organizations actively respond to these challenges in order to address inequality and oppression in the District. As we interact with the physical and social geography of the District, we will seek to understand the role that different identities play in workers’ workplaces and lives, as well as in their struggles for liberation. During the program we will reflect on our own identities, how we have come to form our perspectives on labor, our place in the global labor system, and how to organize in solidarity with workers locally and around the world. Students will leave the program with the tools to engage with labor justice both on and off campus, and a better understanding of how workers navigate the challenges of a capitalist system that values profits over the dignity of workers.

Alternative Breaks Program ABP is committed to creating an inclusive program that is accessible to students of all backgrounds. There are significant scholarship opportunities available to Hoyas!
