Alternative Spring Break
Program Overview

The Alternative Spring Break Program begins with a one-credit hour, pass/fail course in which students examine theories behind community service as well as specific issues relative to the communities where they volunteer. Participants also help plan the actual spring break trip.

During the week of spring break, students apply what they have learned
into action at different sites through direct service, indirect service,
and advocacy work . An emphasis is placed on trip reflection both
throughout the trip and following the students' return. A $50
participation fee is required at the start of the semester to aid APPLES
in covering housing, transportation, supplies, and food. Students in
years past have traveled to Atlanta, the mountains of Tennessee,
Wilmington, the Gulf Coast and Western North Carolina.
