What is Alternative Break?
Alternative Break is an intense service experience during one of B-W's breaks. It is an opportunity to serve with fellow B-W students, make new friends, make a difference, and travel to another part of the country and even the world. The focus on Alternative Break trips is direct service, reflection and education.
The Issues
OCO will offer four trips during the 2012 Spring Break. Participants will explore sustanability issues in Charleston, South Carolina, health and health care issues in Boston, Native American issues in Cherokee, North Carolina and children's issues in Kissimmee, Florida
Commitment
Being an Alternative Break participant requires time, energy and commitment. Participants agree to invest time and energy in order to make this experience a success. Participants must attend all ASB events including group meetings before, during and after the trip. If you miss pre-trip group meetings, you may be replaced.
Expectations
The top priority of this trip is to participate in direct service projects, serving, interacting and socializing with the individuals with which participants will be serving. This experience will provide an opportunity to interact with people that are similar to and different from participants. Each participant can expect to experience the community and culture of the city or region in which they will serve. Moreover, participants are expected to have an open mind, willingness to learn and have new experiences. Participants are also expected to have fun!
